fix for option "dbproxy" in hltListPaths

[missirol]

PR description:

This PR provides a fix for cmd-line argument --dbproxy introduced in #35987 (see discussion post-merge in the latter PR).
The fix is needed to run correctly the HLT integration tests, and it will need to be backported to 12_1_X and 12_0_X (as #35987 was).

FYI: @Sam-Harper

PR validation:

Reproduced the error, and verified that this fix works as intended.

If this PR is a backport, please specify the original PR and why you need to backport that PR:

For consistency, I applied the same change to hltGetConfiguration.

Unlike hltListPaths, the script hltGetConfiguration was not crashing earlier, b/c it uses
parser.parse_args(namespace = options.HLTProcessOptions()), while hltListPaths uses just parser.parse_args().
