Cookbook uploading does not honor proxy settings

Description

When using knife behind a proxy (or anywhere that you use a proxy and the Chef::CookbookUploader class) we fail to configure the proxy settings for RestClient. This causes the first stage of the cookbook upload command to complete (it uses the normal Chef::REST route) but the first files to S3 to fail due to the bad proxy.

Fix is to set the RestClient.proxy before making the RestClient::Resource object in Chef::CookbookUploader.

You can work around this by adding the following to your config file:

require 'rest-client'
RestClient.proxy = "yourproxy"

You also need to add the following to your config file for the workaround:

http_proxy "yourproxy"
https_proxy "yourproxy"

I mistakenly thought the RestClient reference would cause things to honor the http_proxy setting in my shell environment. I was wrong.
