this plugin does not use the proxy set via the env vars HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY

Expected Behaviour

Console commands use the proxy set via the environment variables HTTP_PROXY and/or HTTPS_PROXY.

Actual Behaviour

Console commands do not use the proxy set via the environment variables HTTP_PROXY and/or HTTPS_PROXY.

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

1. Run a proxy locally, use the proxy code at mitmproxy.org.
2. For your App Builder project, set the env vars HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY to http://127.0.0.1:8080 and https://127.0.0.1:8080 respectively
3. Verify that the proxy settings are set via running aio info
4. Run aio console org list - it should hit the proxy, but it does not (see logs in the Terminal)

Investigation

The library that we use @adobe/aio-lib-console, uses the swagger-client npm library, which uses the default fetch capability in node.js >=18. Node does not respect the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables, it has to be handled in the client library itself, and the library does not do it directly.

Proposed Fix

The swagger-client library has a capability to set your own fetch implementation via a userFetch property - we could use the proxied fetch implementation in @adobe/aio-lib-core-networking in aio-lib-console.

Workaround

There is no true workaround since node.js does not use system proxy settings (so you can't set it there).
The only way for the command to work is to not use the proxy.
