Use HTTP proxy instead of torsocks for Liferea 1.10.3+

If I don’t have a Tor Browser running yet, “Right-click -> Open in external browser” doesn’t work for me: a new tab is open in Tor Browser, with the right URL, but the page content is not loaded. That external browser seems pretty much disfunctional anyway, I can’t load any URL in it. I bet it’s simply because the “run with torsocks” thing is inherited by the Tor Browser started by Liferea. This leads me to think that using usewithtor/torsocks was a bad idea, and that configuring a HTTP proxy in Liferea would be much better. I think that’s a blocker too.
