Use an http proxy in the lab for caching downloads

Registered by Paul Larson

We currently use a rudimentary caching system we build in lava to avoid downloading the same things over and over. However, there are some issues with this approach, but there's no good reason I can think of to do this ourselves rather than using an existing http proxy such as squid. We should put an http proxy in the lab and make use of it in lava-dispatcher to simplify things.
