Use hpagent with axios for Apple Pay Merchant Validation with egress …

…proxy With this change, we have update the Apple Pay Merchant Validation implementation in order to use `hpagent` and `axios` in the presence of an egress proxy, as it's the case on our AWS environments. This is needed because we want to remove the use of `requestretry`, however `axios` has a problem preventing it from working with an egress proxy[1]. For this reason, we need to use an HttpsProxyAgent with it. We would want to use `https-proxy-agent`, however it has its own problem[2]. While we wait for these issues to be fixed, we can use `hpagent` which has been tested and works well with an egress proxy. Further information in the JIRA ticket[3].
