Jay Satiro 7017c421a1 cmdline-opts/socks*: Mention --preproxy in --socks* opts
- Document in --socks* opts they're still mutually exclusive of --proxy.

Partial revert of 423a93c; I had misinterpreted the SOCKS proxy +
HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination.

- Document in --socks* opts that --preproxy can be used to specify a
  SOCKS proxy at the same time --proxy is used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy.

Use the specified SOCKS proxy before connecting to an HTTP or HTTPS --proxy. In
such a case curl first connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through
SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy. Hence pre proxy.
The pre proxy string should be specified with a protocol:// prefix to specify
alternative proxy protocols. Use socks4://, socks4a://, socks5:// or
socks5h:// to request the specific SOCKS version to be used. No protocol
specified will make curl default to SOCKS4.
If the port number is not specified in the proxy string, it is assumed to be
1080.
User and password that might be provided in the proxy string are URL decoded
by curl. This allows you to pass in special characters such as @ by using %40
or pass in a colon with %3a.
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
