AWS mgn: Document --proxy-address agent parameter and fix prompt examples
Summary
Added documentation for the Linux-only --proxy-address installer parameter and required https_proxy/http_proxy/no_proxy environment variables, prefixed shell examples with '$', and fixed a typo.
Security assessment
Documents how to route agent traffic through a proxy, which is network configuration with security-adjacent impact (traffic path, metadata no_proxy handling), but it introduces no fix for a vulnerability and no new security control.
Evidence
Use this parameter to configure the agent to use a specific proxy server: `--proxy-address https://PROXY:PORT/`. Make sure to set the environment variables `https_proxy`, `http_proxy`, and `no_proxy` (for metadata) according to your environment. The proxy value must end with a trailing forward slash (/).
