    @ottobackwards I assume you were talking about this, #2016. That one adds 
user/password for proxy authentication at abstract AWS processor. This PR adds 
ProxyConfigurationService, which can be added on top of #2016 for AWS 
processors proxy configurations to be managed by the centralized Controller 
Service. Please look at the FTP and HTTP processors in this PR, AWS ones can 
adopt the CS same way.

> 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.
