[Mozilla Enterprise] Proxy Settings switch back to "Use System Proxy Settings" on restart

[Mike Kaply]

After the policy is set back to 5, is it bold (meaning it's a user set
preference)?

The policy code only sets default preference and locked preferences, it
does not set user preferences.

So it won't ever cause a preference to be bold in about:config. If it's
bold, it means the user changed it.
