The Windows BOOL type is an int32. We were using a bool,
which is a one byte wide. This could be responsible for the
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER errors we were seeing for calls to
WinHttpGetProxyForUrl.
We manually checked all other existing Windows syscalls
for similar mistakes and did not find any.

We often see things in logs like:
2021-03-02 17:52:45.2456258 +0800 +0800: winhttp: Open: The parameter is incorrect.
2021-03-02 17:52:45.2506261 +0800 +0800: tshttpproxy: winhttp: GetProxyForURL("https://log.tailscale.io/c/tailnode.log.tailscale.io/5037bb42f4bc330e2d6143e191a7ff7e837c6be538139231de69a439536e0d68"): ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER [unexpected]
I have a hunch that WinHTTP has thread-local state. If so, this would fix it.
If not, this is pretty harmless.

This allows proxy URLs such as:
http://azurediamond:hunter2@192.168.122.154:38274
to be used in order to dial out to control, logs or derp servers.

Otherwise log upload HTTP requests generate proxy errrors which
generate logs which generate HTTP requests which generate proxy
errors which generate more logs, etc.
Fixes#879
Otherwise when PAC server is down, we log, and each log entry is a new
HTTP request (from logtail) and a new GetProxyForURL call, which again
logs, non-stop. This is also nicer to the WinHTTP service.
Then also hook up link change notifications to the cache to reset it
if there's a chance the network might work sooner.
We currently have a chickend-and-egg situation in some environments
where we can set up routes that WinHTTP's WPAD/PAC resolution service
needs to download the PAC file to evaluate GetProxyForURL, but the PAC
file is behind a route for which we need to call GetProxyForURL to
e.g. dial a DERP server.
As a short-term fix, just assume that the most recently returned proxy
is good enough for such situations.
