Create a system proxy change after receiving a network map

This is experimental and needs more test.

the purpose of this change is to validate that a TLS connection stuck using old routes because of keepalive settings on the remote webserver are reset once netbird receives a network map

-        ## Ideas & Feature Requests
-
-        Use this category for feature requests, enhancements, integrations, and product ideas.
-
-        NetBird uses community traction in discussions — upvotes, replies, affected users, and use-case detail — as an input when deciding what should become a maintainer-curated issue or roadmap item. A clear problem statement is more useful than a solution-only request.
-
-        Please search first and add your use case to an existing discussion when one already exists.

-        ## Issue Triage
-
-        Use this category for reproducible bugs and regressions in NetBird.
-
-        The more context you include, the faster we can validate and act on your report. If you're not sure whether something is a bug, **Q&A / Support** is a good starting point — we can always move the conversation here once we've confirmed it's a product issue.
-
-        Intermittent issues are useful too. Include the trigger, frequency, timing, and any logs or debug evidence you have, and we'll work from there.
-
-        Please don't include secrets, tokens, private keys, internal hostnames, or public IPs. Security vulnerabilities should be reported through the repository security policy rather than a public discussion.

-        ## Discussion-first issue policy
-
-        Issues are maintainer-curated work items. Community reports and feature requests should start in [Discussions](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions) so DevRel can validate, reproduce, and route them before engineering time is committed.
-
-        Use this form when:
-        - A discussion has been validated and should become actionable work.
-        - A maintainer is opening internally validated work that can bypass the discussion-first flow.
-
-        Issues opened without a relevant validated discussion or maintainer context may be closed and redirected to Discussions.
