JAVA_OPTS are ignored when using json-rpc mode

[kleptog]

The problem

To get the signal-cli to work behind a proxy you can using the JAVA_OPTS environment variable to configure them like so:

JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.server -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy.server -Dhttps.proxyPort=3128

However, this fails in json-rpc mode. (It also fails in native mode but I don't know how to fix that.)

It happens because in java-rpc mode signal-cli is run under supervisor as a service, which clears the environment.

The fix is to copy the variable through. Will post patch shortly.

Yes, switching the MODE=normal will work too, but is stupidly slow. This little patch makes it usable for us in production, so I figured I'd submit it here for other people.
