New features/changes

• New connection string parameter: EndPoint (required)
• New connection string parameter: UseProxy (optional)

• This connection string parameter specifies the URL. It must be set when using S3-compatible storage.
• The default value is s3.amazonaws.com.

• This connection string parameter specifies if the proxy specified in -etlProxy (if specified at all) should be used.
• It is possible that the proxy should be disabled for a local installations using UseProxy=0 while still having it enabled for imports from cloud-based storage.
• The default value is 1.

Example:

import into table1 from Parquet at 's3://testbucket/;EndPoint=http://localhost:9000;UseProxy=0' 
  user 'miniouser' identified by 'miniopw' 
  FILE 'test1.parquet';
