use socket for tor hidden service
This avoids needing to bind to the right port before something else
does.
The socket is in /var/run/user/$uid/ which ought to be writable by only
that uid. At least it is on linux systems using systemd.
For Windows, may need to revisit this and use ports or something.
The first version of tor to support sockets for hidden services
was 0.2.6.3. That is not in Debian stable, but is available in
backports.
This commit was sponsored by andrea rota.
