[tor-bugs] #15979 [Tor Browser]: consider changing order of nodes in "Tor circuit for this site" UI
#15979: consider changing order of nodes in "Tor circuit for this site" UI

Currently in tor browser, if you click on the onion icon, you get the
following display:
Tor circuit for this site
(site.url)
* This browser
* [Entry node]
* [Middle node]
* [Exit node]
* Internet.
It might be more intuitive to list the hops in the reverse order, i.e.
Tor circuit for this site
(site.url)
* Internet
* [Exit node]
* [Middle node]
* [Entry node]
* This browser.
That way, the order corresponds to a perspective view of a landscape,
where close objects are at the bottom and distant objects are towards the
top: "This browser" is closest to the bottom of the screen, and therefore
the user, "Internet" is closest to the top of the screen, and therefore
furthest away from the user. Moreover, "Internet" is adjacent to the site
url (which is logical). (You could then also make the site url one of the
bullet points, rather than listing it separately)
