Bug Description

When MAAS is installed on a host that has an existing proxy configured and running with Squid, it disables this instance of Squid, replacing it with its own, and points /usr/sbin/squid to the MAAS proxy configuration in /var/lib/maas/maas-proxy.conf.

When removing MAAS (for any reason, rebuild, teardown), MAAS will remove its own proxy configuration, but does not return the system squid back to a running state as it found it when it was installed.

If the system is configured to look for the system proxy on :3128, such as http{,s}_proxy environment variables in /etc/environment, Acquire::http::Proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf or elsewhere, shutting down or removing MAAS will leave the system in a degraded/broken state.

Ideally, MAAS could run its own proxy process on a separate port, negating the need to clobber the system configuration and ports, but there may be other concerns preventing that configuration from being supported.

This bug is to track MAAS storing of some level of system/host state, so it can return the system to that state when the MAAS is removed from the system.
