As described on https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8054#note-17, torsocks
2.1 seems to only allow TCP connections to localhost when
AllowOutboundLocalhost is set in torsocks.conf. This option should be
extended to allow UDP connections as well. Assigning to Yawning who seems
to volunteer :)
This will be useful for Tails to allow contributors to run our script for
verifying the well-behaving of our download mirrors. For this to work we
need to be able to pass a DNS query through our local ttdnsd because such
query cannot be handled directly by Tor.
