feature proposal: support proxy-auto-configuration scripts ("wpad.dat") #224

Description

@tkluck

How open are you to merging a feature that supports PAC scripts as as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Auto-Discovery_Protocol ?

For clarity, I mean a feature that adds a configuration option

PacUpstream "/path/to/wpad.dat"

and, when specified, tinyproxy uses https://github.com/manugarg/pacparser to find an upstream.

My intended use case is to replace the Twisted-based proxy in https://github.com/tkluck/pac4cli with tinyproxy for better http support. I wrote some initial code here pac4cli@c2b82f3 but it is far from production ready.

Please let me know what you think so I can decide on whether to invest in this approach.
