Invoke-TlsWebRequest - Auto-detect system proxy

[andreasjordan]

Adds automatic proxy detection to Invoke-TlsWebRequest using [System.Net.WebRequest]::GetSystemWebProxy(). When no proxy is already configured, the system proxy is detected and set with default network credentials. Supports PAC files and is cross-platform. All callers benefit without individual changes.

Fixes #5884

Added opt-out config item

• Read current implementation
• Check config system patterns
• Add config entry to commands.ps1
• Update Invoke-TlsWebRequest.ps1 to honor the config
• Commit and push changes

Changes made:

private/configurations/settings/commands.ps1 — new config entry:

Set-DbatoolsConfig -FullName 'commands.invoke-tlswebrequest.disableautoproxy' -Value $false -Initialize -Validation bool -Description "Disable automatic system proxy detection in Invoke-TlsWebRequest. Set to true to skip auto-detection of the system proxy (useful if auto-detection causes issues in your environment)."

private/functions/Invoke-TlsWebRequest.ps1 — honors the config:

# Auto-detect system proxy if not already configured and not opted out
if (-not (Get-DbatoolsConfigValue -FullName "commands.invoke-tlswebrequest.disableautoproxy") -and -not [System.Net.WebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy.Address) {

Users who want to opt out can run:

Set-DbatoolsConfig -FullName 'commands.invoke-tlswebrequest.disableautoproxy' -Value $true
