Description

It's time to implement the SOCK Proxy Server.

How to test

Open Proxyman macOS -> Tools Menu -> Proxy Settings -> SOCKS Proxy -> Enable at port 8889
Tools menu -> Proxy Settings -> Turn off Override System Proxy for easily testing
Use Firefox -> Settings -> Proxy -> Set SOCK 5 Proxy to 127.0.0.1 at port 8889
Visit many websites -> Verify:

Proxyman can capture HTTP and HTTPS traffic
Can decrypt HTTPS as normal
WS and WSS works (https://echo.websocket.org/.ws)
Debugging tools work fine

how to implement it

in proxy.js, instead of creating a HTTP or HTTPS server with self.httpServer = http.createServer();, we create a SOCK Proxy
When the new connection is established, reuse the same logic from cthe urrent proxy.js

Acceptance Criteria

UI for SOCK Proxy Server at port 8889 as a default
Only support SOCK v5
Able to select different port. Like How Proxy Server works, if this port is occupied -> Show error
When lauching the app and SOCK Proxy Server is enabled -> Start the SOCK Server, if it's occupied -> don't start the server
SOCK Proxy and Normal Proxy can work together.
Write Unit tests - maybe use cURL with --sock option
