For me the feedback makes no sense, if I :set proxy=true I trust that
proxying is anabled, the feedback would also be given when the webkit
wouldn't allow proxy. In this case the feedback did'nt reflect the real
state of the setting, it shows the user that he typed ':set proxy=...',
nothing more. I think when we feedback the setting for proxy we should
do this also for other settings for exmaple 'scripts' or 'images'
to keep it consitent.

Maybe we can implement a way to readout values of setting variables like
in vim the ':set variable?'. But this might be a useless and overbloated
feature for the most users.

To Reproduce:
- run some commands :set proxy=true, :set scripts=false
- switch to command mode with :
- use up-cursor-key -> ':set scripts=false' appears
- use down-cursomr-key -> ':roxy activated' appears
