Use Hammer CLI in favor of WebUI to change setting

[maximiliankolb]

What changes are you introducing?

Replace step that uses Web UI with Hammer CLI command.

Why are you introducing these changes? (Explanation, links to references, issues, etc.)

All steps but one relies on using CLI, so we should not force the user to complete this single step via WebUI.

Anything else to add? (Considerations, potential downsides, alternative solutions you have explored, etc.)

Tested on Foreman 3.14/Katello 4.16.

I was surprised by this setting even existing and especially where it's defined. It's in Katello:

https://github.com/Katello/katello/blob/a053c92d0fa4413400d6032492fc6b90224d31f6/lib/katello/plugin.rb#L678-L682

If we tell users to set this to true, is there a good reason why it's default to false?

@adamruzicka you added the setting in Katello/katello@840cbe6. Can you shine a light on that?

Remote execution has a mechanism for picking a proxy to be used. The mechanism takes many things into consideration and is generally not compatible with katello's "host is registered to a proxy so everything has to be done through that proxy, regardless on subnets and things like that" world view. Hence katello comes with a setting to bend the behaviour of Rex to match katello's customs.

I don't like it either, but probably for a different reason.

Mostly to have vanilla foreman and foreman with katello behave the same way with an option to selectively enable different behaviour.
