Comment(by atagar):

 TorCtl has three methods for connecting...
 - connect() which may be interative
 - preauth_connect() which just returns the auth type and unauthenticated
 connection, letting the caller handle that
 - the connection can be made manually and authenticated, which is how it
 was done before the above existed

 If starting non-interactively is important then they shouldn't be using
 the connect() method.

 This change will need to break backward compatibility for preauth_connect
 callers since the return value needs to be an auth type tuple, but arm is
 probably the only caller so I doubt Mike will mind much.
