#14132: Add SocksSocket support to torsocks

----------------------------------------+-------------------------
In Paris, dgoulet and I started to write some basic torsocks support for
SocksSocket (#12585) - in an ideal world, we'd have a Tor with a
SocksSocket running by default. This would allow torsocks to do useful
things by default - namely - any app can be instantly torified without
worries about firewalls, users can be isolated from different socks
proxies by uid, etc. Basically, I think it means that torsocks could
default to SocksSocket, if built on a SocksSocket supporting platform.
I think for changes, we'd want to do the following:
Add a configuration (in /etc/torsocks.conf ) option for the default
SocksSocket location
eg: /var/lib/tor/SockSocket
stat() the default SocksSocket file location
if we find a SockSocket, we switch to AF_UNIX for all communications
normal torsocks failures from here out
if we don't find a SocksSocket
fail hard? fail soft?
if we fail soft, switch to the default _server_ configured
if that fails, give an error and fail hard
dgoulet - do you still have the patch we started to write in paris?
