Create Browser UI indication for current circuit status and exit IP

As we try to transition away from Vidalia (#6009 (moved)), one feature I expect people will miss is the Network Map. This will be hard to integrate with the browser in a way that normal people will understand, and initially the most expedient way to provide it will be through a separate download of Vidalia.

However, according to http://petsymposium.org/2012/papers/hotpets12-1-usability.pdf, unpredictable browsing delay is a major usability issue. The best way to solve this would be to provide some kind of circuit progress information in the browser toolbar, and provide a way to see your current circuit and current exit IP for that tab.

This is technically impossible for us to do until we have SOCKS username+password support (see #5752 (moved) and child tickets), but once we have that, we should implement this notification.

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