Extends -upstream-proxy to accept a socks5://[user:pass@]host:port
prefix, using golang.org/x/net/proxy (already an indirect dependency
via http2, so no new module) rather than hand-rolling the client side
of RFC 1928/1929. parseSOCKS5 is the single place that decides which
kind of upstream a given UpstreamProxy string names; dialViaProxy
(CONNECT/TLS path) and dialUpstreamPlain (plain-HTTP path) both check
it first and fall through to the existing HTTP CONNECT behavior
otherwise. SOCKS5 needs no absolute-form request adjustment on the
plain-HTTP path the way HTTP-proxy chaining does, since it tunnels
straight to the target rather than expecting a proxy-aware request.

Tested against a real, minimal SOCKS5 server built for the test suite
(exercises dialSOCKS5's actual wire behavior, not a mock of the
client library), plus live against a real standalone SOCKS5 relay
process: both a plain HTTP and an HTTPS request through mitmux were
confirmed, via the relay's own log, to have actually traversed it.

Closes the last two items from the original "worth considering" list.

Multiple listeners: -listen takes a comma-separated address list
(-listen "127.0.0.1:8080,127.0.0.1:8081"). Server.Addr became
Server.Addrs; ListenAndServe binds every address up front - before any
of them start serving - so a bad address fails startup immediately
rather than leaving the daemon partially listening, and rolls back
already-opened listeners if a later one fails to bind. All addresses
share the same handler/history/CA/rules: one logical proxy reachable on
more than one address, not several independent proxies in one process.

Upstream proxy chaining: -upstream-proxy host:port (optional http://
prefix, stripped for convenience) routes every outbound connection
through another HTTP CONNECT proxy instead of dialing origins directly.
dialViaProxy does the CONNECT handshake to the upstream and hands back
a plain net.Conn as if it were a direct connection; dialUpstreamTLS
(CONNECT/HTTPS path) and dialUpstreamPlain (plain-HTTP path) both take
an upstreamProxy parameter and route through it when set. The two paths
need different handling: CONNECT/HTTPS is transparent below the tunnel
(once the CONNECT handshake succeeds, TLS and the request on top of it
look identical to a direct connection, so roundTripH2 and the H1 read
side need no changes at all), but plain HTTP has to send an
absolute-form request line to the upstream proxy instead of origin-form
- so roundTripH1 gained a proxyForm parameter, and forward() selects it
based on scheme=="http" &amp;&amp; UpstreamProxy!="".

Chaining into another intercepting/MITM proxy (including another
mitmuxd) needs that proxy's own CA trusted too, or TLS verification
fails - this is inherent to chaining MITM proxies, not a gap here, and
confirmed live below rather than left as a guess.

internal/proxy/dialer_test.go: dialViaProxy against a real local CONNECT
stub (not a mock) - direct dial, successful tunnel-and-echo through a
proxy, and a proxy that refuses the CONNECT with a non-200. All three
exercise the actual network code path, not just the string-building
around it.

Verified live: started a daemon with two -listen addresses, sent
requests through both, confirmed a single shared history; killed it
mid-flight with SIGTERM and confirmed both listeners closed cleanly;
started it with one bad address in the list and confirmed startup
failed immediately with the already-bound port released, no lingering
process. For chaining: sent plain HTTP and HTTPS through a downstream
mitmuxd configured with -upstream-proxy pointing at a genuine
passthrough CONNECT stub (tunnels raw bytes, doesn't MITM) and got real
content back on both; separately chained through a second mitmuxd
instance and got the expected "certificate signed by unknown authority"
error, cleanly recorded in history rather than hanging.

go build/vet/gofmt/test/mod tidy all clean.
