Man tor - Refactoring - Creation of a `LOGS OPTIONS` section

A total of 13 options (see the list below) are all only related to logs. We should create a new section named LOGS OPTIONS and all put them there instead of leaving them in the GENERAL OPTIONS and SERVER OPTIONS sections.

This would reduce the amount of scrolling in the man tor page and make finding options more intuitive instead of having to remember the weird location that options descriptions are sometimes located. If this issue is approuved, I will make the necessary changes in the man tor page and only show you the final result. You will only need to accept it or tell me what need more tweaking.

Here is the list of affected options :

GENERAL OPTIONS Log (x4) LogMessageDomains LogTimeGranularity MaxUnparseableDescSizeToLog ProtocolWarnings SafeLogging SyslogIdentityTag TruncateLogFile

SERVER OPTIONS HeartbeatPeriod MainloopStats

The new LOGS OPTIONS section will look something like that :

LOGS OPTIONS Description of LOGS OPTION : Do we really need it ? It is self-explanatory. HeartbeatPeriod Log (x4) LogMessageDomains LogTimeGranularity MainloopStats MaxUnparseableDescSizeToLog ProtocolWarnings SafeLogging SyslogIdentityTag TruncateLogFile

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