Abandoned. Ant plugin support for Launchpad's authenticated proxy remains unimplemented due to Java limitations. Resolution depends on an external switch to an unauthenticated proxy.

Issue body

Builds that use the ant plugin fail when network access is required to go via a proxy, as is the case in Launchpad. Launchpad builds currently use an authenticated proxy, which is (as far as I can tell) prohibitively difficult to support in the ant plugin; Java makes this extremely difficult. However, I have work in flight to convert this to an unauthenticated proxy from snapcraft's point of view (https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/launchpad-buildd/local-snap-proxy/+merge/322545), at which point it's not too difficult to handle here.
