This pulls in flatcar/update_engine#38 with two workarounds to read out proxy env vars from the service unit and to read out the XML response from the journal logs, because the XML passing and the passing of proxy env vars is not present in old clients.
2 tasks
The XML passing and the passing of proxy env vars is required for updating old airgapped clients because we need to support custom non-public payload URLs and/or go through a proxy. However, these changes are part of update-engine itself and thus are not present in old clients. This blocks updating to the latest Stable. Add two workarounds to read out proxy env vars from the service unit and to read out the XML response from the journal logs.

Testing done
Jenkins
Tested running the commands manually.
Tested the "inverse" with an invalid proxy env var added while the update-engine service is running to see that the variable gets read in from the postinst action and it is thus by not being able to fetch.
Tested with removing default route while running flatcar-update, to verify that it doesn't use the fallback case.
