 With meek on Android 4.x in Orbot's VPN mode, we need to proxy outbound
 connections through a loopback proxy in order to flag socket connections
 to not go through the VPN. Currently, we have a local SOCKS proxy that
 does this for tor and obfs4, but since meek requires Firefox to use SOCKS
 we can't support it in VPN mode.

 It would be great to have meek supports SOCKS natively w/o needing
 Firefox.

 We currently use SOCKS 5, but can support SOCKS 4 as well, via this java
 class:
