Deploy Marionette in Linux nightly builds

Supporting Linux is probably easiest, so we start with Marionette support in nightly builds there.

bug_29623 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-build.git/log/?h=bug_29623) has all the things needed for Marionette in Linux nightly builds. However, I don't put the yet-to-be squashed version in review yet because using Marionette is not working right now. Selecting the transport just results in Tor Browser sitting in the networkstatus consensus retrieval step.

Here is the log output (Tor Browser)

Mar 04 07:34:59.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 3% (conn_proxy): Connecting to proxy Mar 04 07:34:59.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 4% (conn_done_proxy): Connected to proxy Mar 04 07:34:59.000 [warn] Managed proxy at './TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/marionette' reported: 2019/03/04 07:34:59 Connecting to Marionette server: 165.227.39.255 Mar 04 07:34:59.000 [warn] Managed proxy at './TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/marionette' reported: 2019/03/04 07:34:59 Connected!

And here is the Marionette log on the client side:

2019/03/04 07:34:59 Connecting to Marionette server: 165.227.39.255 2019/03/04 07:34:59 Connected! 2019/03/04 07:34:59 Proxying stream to connection

I left Tor Browser waiting for 10 minutes and then aborted the experiment.

To reproduce you can find the bundle I used at

https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/tor-browser-linux64-tbb-nightly_en-US_29623.tar.xz https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/tor-browser-linux64-tbb-nightly_en-US_29623.tar.xz.asc

Note: you need to add -log-file marionette-client.log manually to torrc-default to enabled Marionette logging as I omitted that in my patch. I was under the assumption client logging is not needed as everything works out of the box. :) The file is at tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/.

I moved some resources around after our conversation on irc about shelving this for now.

I'll keep the bridge up and running in case anyone wants to look at it, but it has a new IP and less resources allocated to it. The new line in bridge_prefs.js should be:

pref("extensions.torlauncher.default_bridge.marionette.1", "marionette 68.183.200.16:8081 C6345F09C3ECCE5DAE37E8D1EC8495A4577CA356");

This is no longer something we are planning on doing.
