please don't kill WarnUnsafeSocks option

The message

The WarnUnsafeSocks option is deprecated, and will most likely be removed in a future version of Tor. Changing this option makes it easier for you to accidentally lose your anonymity by leaking DNS information (If you think this is a mistake, please let us know!)

now appears when starting tor since a version upgrade.

I am a expert user of Tor and have several script that issue torsocks dig +tcp commands performing forward and reverse DNS queries. Have set WarnUnsafeSocks to 0 to eliminate the spamming of my logs with warnings about explicit IP addresses passing through SOCKS.

The option is useful and should be retained.

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