Guard proxy

The proxy listens on 127.0.0.1 only. A CONNECT to a host the policy names is decrypted and decided: the key the policy names is injected, a call the policy asks about waits up to a minute for a person, and every call is recorded. Any other host is tunnelled untouched. The desktop runs the same proxy at launch when an agent was set up with Guard.
