Allow proxies in httpx.request() high-level API #1195
Description
Spun up from #1194
The high-level API functions such as httpx.get() and httpx.post() don't allow passing proxies=... yet (only possible on Client), but Requests does support this: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced/#proxies
We should add support for this argument:
>>> import httpx
>>> proxies = "http://localhost:8899"
>>> r = httpx.get("https://example.com", proxies=proxies)We may need to update some documentation (for example, the HTTP Proxying docs may need to clarify that proxies does not require using clients), but we can treat that as a follow-up if it's unclear what should be updated exactly.

Right, we may also want a note in the requests compat. section, because
Session.request(...)allows aproxies=...argument, whereasClient.request(...)does not.(Which is because of the knock on implications of our tighter Transport API vs.
requestsadapters.)
