CALLHOME_PROXY_SERVER option for NetBackup master and media servers

This option lets you specify an unauthenticated proxy server that NetBackup uses to relay Usage Insights data to Veritas. At this time, NetBackup does not have a method to verify that the value is set correctly. The Usage Insights interface displays a message indicating the number of days since the data was successfully uploaded to Veritas. The only protocol currently supported is http.
