#7667: Support launching an âownedâ Tor process

 #7666 suggests that Stem provide an easy way to send the `TAKEOWNERSHIP`
 command along a control-port connection (and provides a patch).  This may
 be useful (at least within Stem), but it is probably too low-level for
 controller authors to use correctly.

 Instead, Stem should provide an easy way to launch a Tor process which is
 âownedâ by the controller process.  See Â3.23 of control-spec.txt for how
 to do this correctly.  ''Do not'' leave out the third step (â`RESETCONF
 __OwningControllerProcess`â) like chiiph did in Vidalia, or Tor will waste
 CPU and spam any info-level log destinations with âMonitored process
 (number) is still alive.â every 15 seconds.
