Almost working, but there's a bug in the relaying.
Also, made tor hidden service setup pick a random port, to make it harder
to port scan.

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.

Tor unfortunately does not come out of the box configured to let hidden
services register themselves on the fly via the ControlPort.
And, changing the config to enable the ControlPort and a particular type
of auth for it may break something already using the ControlPort, or
lessen the security of the system.
So, this leaves only one option to us: Add a hidden service to the
torrc. git-annex enable-tor does so, and picks an unused high port for
tor to listen on for connections to the hidden service.
It's up to the caller to somehow pick a local port to listen on
that won't be used by something else. That may be difficult to do..
