CFNetwork Framework

Summary:
When using CFNetwork to make an HTTP request in order to have a controllable readable stream, if the stream is configured to use system proxy settings, opening the stream leads to application crash. Example code:

// Create http request
let message = CFHTTPMessageCreateRequest(kCFAllocatorDefault, "GET", self.url, kCFHTTPVersion1_1).takeRetainedValue()

// Create stream
let readStream = CFReadStreamCreateForHTTPRequest(kCFAllocatorDefault, message).takeRetainedValue()

// Set stream properties
CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, NSStreamNetworkServiceTypeBackground, NSStreamNetworkServiceTypeBackground)
CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertyHTTPShouldAutoredirect, kCFBooleanTrue)

// Configure proxy
if let proxySettings = CFNetworkCopySystemProxySettings()?.takeRetainedValue() {
    CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertyHTTPProxy, proxySettings)
}

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure proxy auto-discovery url in iOS settings
2. Configure a CFReadStream to use system proxy settings
3. Open the stream
