test: deflake connection refused proxy tests

Use 127.0.0.1:10, matching existing refused-connection tests, instead
of binding and releasing an ephemeral port that can be reused before
the child process connects.

Clear NO_PROXY and no_proxy so local proxy bypass settings do not skip
the proxy connection attempt.
