Provide command line args to register Tor Browser as a Linux desktop app

I realized that it might be handy for Linux users to have a way to add/remove Tor Browser to their desktop from the command line, so I created arguments --register-app and --unregister-app.

I tested this out on Gnome3 and Unity. It works perfectly on Gnome with just the simple copy, but on Unity even the update-desktop-database command doesn't manage to fully update the Applications view. You get the icon but not the "Tor Browser" text. The only fix for this seems to be restarting Unity after local app installation.

Still, I think providing this is an improvement.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
