Thanks to Nick for the idea for the fix.

When running a system-wide instance of Tor on Unix-like systems, having
a ControlSocket is a quite handy mechanism to access Tor control
channel.  But it would be easier if access to the Unix domain socket can
be granted by making control users members of the group running the Tor
process.

This change introduces a UnixSocketsGroupWritable option, which will
create Unix domain sockets (and thus ControlSocket) 'g+rw'. This allows
ControlSocket to offer same access control measures than
ControlPort+CookieAuthFileGroupReadable.

See <http://bugs.debian.org/552556> for more details.

This is the major part of the implementation for trac issue 3076.

Fixes bug 2379

Clients and relays haven't used them since early 0.2.0.x.  The only
remaining use by authorities learning about new relays ahead of scedule;
see proposal 147 for what we intend to do about that.

We're leaving in an option (FetchV2Networkstatus) to manually fetch v2
networkstatuses, because apparently dnsel and maybe bwauth want them.

This fixes bug 3022.

This is a squashed version of my former desired_nodes_behavior branch
that we used to specify the intended results wrt bug 1090.

  - Document it in the manpage
  - Add a changes entry
  - No need to log when it is set: we don't log for other options.
  - Use doxygen to document the new flag.
  - Test truth of C variables with "if (x)", not "if (x == 1)".
  - Simplify a complex boolean expression by breaking it up.

We should really require a modern asiidoc: backporting stuff to 8.2 is
a timesink.

Sets:
* Documentation
* Logging domain
* Configuration option
* Scheduled event
* Makefile
It also creates status.c and the log_heartbeat() function.

All code was written by Sebastian Hahn. Commit message was
written by me (George Kadianakis).

Fixes bug 2089.
