Use Case
As a driver engineer,
I want `socks` to be a peer optional dependency,
So that we do not have required dependencies for optional features.
User Impact
Users will need to install `socks` themselves in order to use `socks`. This is a breaking change.
Dependencies
- n/a
Unknowns
- n/a
Acceptance Criteria
Implementation Requirements
- `socks` will no longer be a dependency of the driver and instead will be a peer optional dependency
- any usages of socks in the driver must lazy-load the socks module.
Testing Requirements
- modify the socks5 driver, socks5 FLE and the socks5 FLE+tls CI variants to install `socks` manually for testing
Documentation Requirements
- We have no documentation on how to enable socks5 proxy support with the Node driver. We should add a page to our "Connection" reference that explains how to setup the driver with socks support. This page should cover the relevant URI/client options and instruct users that `socks` must be installed.
