#18856: Talk with tor's ORPort

-------------------------------+------------------------
Long ago tor served and received descriptors on its DirPort but nowadays
it uses single-hop circuits on its ORPort instead. In fact, the DirPort is
essentially unused besides Stem.
It would be nice if Stem learned how to download descriptors from tor's
ORPort. This would allow us to better test relays and the directory
authorities. This is a very minor benefit and not worth the amount of
effort it would likely take, but we might be able to make this easier by
taking advantage of other tor implementations written in python...
