An upstream HTTP proxy should work, either through torrc HTTPProxy or
the --proxy option.

I just remembered that an upstream SOCKS proxy won't work if you are
using naked meek-client, because when I looked there wasn't SOCKS client
support in the Go standard library. This function determines what types
of proxy are acceptable:
