[or-cvs] [tor/release-0.2.2 109/162] Rate-limit unsafe socks warning

Subject: Rate-limit unsafe socks warning
Commit: da3a6e724fc9b1aa780d1f0c13787f365d370bbe

Pick 5 seconds as the limit. 5 seconds is a compromise here between
making sure the user notices that the bad behaviour is (still) happening
and not spamming their log too much needlessly (the log message is
pretty long). We also keep warning every time if safesocks is
specified, because then the user presumably wants to hear about every
blocked instance.

(This is based on the original patch by Sebastian, then backported to
0.2.2 and with warnings split into their own function.)
