[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.3.4] Make CacheDirectoryGroupReadable an autobool.

    Make CacheDirectoryGroupReadable an autobool.
    
    Since the default cache directory is the same as the default data
    directory, we don't want the default CacheDirectoryGroupReadable
    value (0) to override an explicitly set "DataDirectoryGroupReadable
    1".
    
    To fix this, I'm making CacheDirectoryGroupReadable into an
    autobool, and having the default (auto) value mean "Use the value of
    DataDirectoryGroupReadable if the directories are the same, and 0
    otherwise."
    
    Fixes bug 26913; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha when the CacheDirectory
    option was introduced.
