-------------------------------------

[~trixpan] I'm going to create a new Controller Service to manage centralized proxy configurations for different processors.

> Currently, configuring proxy settings for NiFi processors may be a tedious process that requires the DFM to set proxy settings on individual processors. 
> This leads to:
> * Duplication of work
> * Management overhead (as password must be changed on multiple locations)
> * Lower security (as proxy credentials must be known by "n" DFMs)
> Ideally, NiFi should offer a way to minimise duplication of work by offering a something similar to the Standard SSL Context services. This way, the DFM could set the proxy settings once an all authorised users could tap into those settings.
