Backport ecf49a8 "Don't reload app upon proxy errors." and release of 1.14.2?

[Mischi]

Hi @sokra,

we use the proxy functionality of webpack-dev-server extensively. Not all of our proxy targets are running all the time which isn't strictly necessary for our usecase except that we stumble over the bug fixed in a233ecf, in case proxy targets are not up and running.

As we are currently locked to webpack-1 we are not able to benefit from the bugfix yet. Therefore we would be very thankful if you could release a new bugfix release 1.14.2 which incorporates a233ecf.

I've created a webpack-dev-server-1 branch over https://github.com/Mischi/webpack-dev-server/tree/webpack-dev-server-1. Can you push that branch into your repository and publish a new npm release?

As an alternative we may publish a new npm release from my branch into our corporate npm repository but we would definitively would favor a official package from the public repository.

Yours sincerely,
Fabian

If you consider releasing 1.14.2 from my webpack-dev-server-1, i would like to backport #499 (after you have merged it) as well.

Do you know any other commits which may be worth backporting?

https://github.com/Mischi/webpack-dev-server/tree/webpack-dev-server-1 now includes #499 too.

Dupe of #363. Working on it, so it won't take long.
