recognize t.me proxy qr codes (#5895)

this PR adds the type DC_QR_SOCKS5_PROXY to `dc_check_qr()` for
**supporting telegram proxy QR codes**. if returned, the UI should ask
the user if they want to us the proxy and call
`dc_set_config_from_qr();` afterwards (plus maybe `dc_configure()`).

idea is to improve our proxy story, follow ups may be:

- in UI, - move proxy out of "Account & Password", as a **separate
"Proxy Activity"** (it should stay in "Advanced" for now, however, below
"Server", which might be moved up)

- allow **opening the "Proxy Activity" from the welcome screens**
three-dot-menu (that would also solve a long standing issue that
entering the email address bypasses the proxy

- show proxy usage in the "Connectivity View" and/or add an **icon** to
the main chatlist screen (beside three-dot menu) in case some proxy is
in use; tapping this icon will open the "Proxy Activity"

- the the new "Proxy Activity", add a **share / show proxy QR code**
button. that would generate invite links in the form
`https://i.delta.chat/socks#...` - so that tapping then opens the app.
support for these links need to be added to core then.

- handle a list of proxies in core, offer selection in UI. the list
could be one for all profiles and could be filled eg. by normal invite
links or other channels
