Support HTTP_PROXY

[openscript]

Unfortunately I need to run the tests in an environment, where I can only access the internet through a proxy. wdio-vscode-service uses undici for it's requests. undici doesn't support the most common way to define proxies: nodejs/undici#1650

It doesn't look like undici will support this any time soon. Native fetch is slowly arriving, but types are not included for Node 18. node-fetch would work, as it supports HttpAgents.

Is there another workaround I haven't thought of?

Thanks for reporting!

Switching to node-fetch makes sense since we will switch to native fetch in WebdriverIO with the next upgrade and this would make this transition easier.

I decided against switching to node-fetch as the API of undici should be on par and I think moving to native fetch should be easy.
