* @title Proxy
* @dev Implements delegation of calls to other contracts, with proper
* forwarding of return values and bubbling of failures.
* It defines a fallback function that delegates all calls to the address
* returned by the abstract _implementation() internal function.
* @dev This abstract contract provides a fallback function that delegates all calls to another contract using the EVM
* instruction `delegatecall`. We refer to the second contract as the _implementation_ behind the proxy, and it has to
* be specified by overriding the virtual {_implementation} function.
*
* Additionally, delegation to the implementation can be triggered manually through the {_fallback} function, or to a
* different contract through the {_delegate} function.
*
* The success and return data of the delegated call will be returned back to the caller of the proxy.
