Tor can make its control port accessible over a Unix domain socket.

Using the domain socket can allow the onionbalance application to be sandboxed without any network capabilities. Currently OnionBalance connects to the Tor control port over TCP (normally on localhost). The Stem Tor control port library supports unix domain sockets so it should take much time to implement support.

Add support for connections to Tor over a unix domain socket
93b1175 
OnionBalance will now automatically try to connect to a local Tor unix
domain control socket before falling back to using a Tor control port
connection.

This commit also adds some documentation describing how the OnionBalance
command line options can also be specified in the configuration file.

Resolves #35.
