When a local run requests Apify Proxy and can't use it, the SDK now logs a warning and runs without a proxy instead of raising. On the Apify platform, the errors are unchanged. This matches the JS SDK, including apify/apify-sdk-js#824.

A local run falls back to no proxy in three cases:

• No password is available: not passed as password, not in APIFY_PROXY_PASSWORD, and no token to fetch it with.
• The password fetch with the Apify token fails.
• The proxy status check reports connected: false.

A timed-out status check still only logs a warning and keeps the proxy, as before.

Changes:

• ProxyConfiguration.initialize() returns bool. It returns False when the run should proceed without a proxy. The access check is skipped when there is no password.
• Actor.create_proxy_configuration() returns None when initialize() returns False.
• With Apify Proxy and no password, new_proxy_info() and new_url() return None, so no proxy URL is built with an empty password.
• ApifyHttpProxyMiddleware (Scrapy) sends requests without a proxy in this case. It creates the proxy configuration only once, also for concurrent first requests.
• The Crawlee guide snippets pass the result of create_proxy_configuration() to the crawler as is, None included. The lock file updates crawlee to 1.11.2, the first version whose crawler options accept proxy_configuration=None in type checking.
• The proxy management and exceptions pages describe the local fallback.
