According to the discussion at [1][]. I rename the option to
`--ignore-proxy-headers`. A new [branch][2] was created on Github. Please
check it.

The expected command line usage would be:

    curl --silent --include --ignore-proxy-headers https://httpbin.org/get

If this patch is OK, I will create a PR.
