[OE-core] [PATCH] scripts/send-error-report: simple hack to use proxy from the enviroment

[Stefan Stanacar]

People behind a proxy couldn't send an error report to an upstream server,
this should fix the issue if they use a proxy that doesn't require authentication,
and it's correctly exported in the enviroment.
There are probbaly better ways to fix this (urllib2, proxy connect,
a command line option for proxy) but those require more changes than
I feel confortable doing now.
