Comment(by Sebastian):
It appears that all of these are already possible. non-admins should be
able to launch their own Tor and then stop it again. If they know the
ControlPassword for a Tor running as a different user or with different
permissions, they can fully control Tor using the control protocol.
Obviously they won't be able to start Tor with higher privileges than
their own user account has, the OS will not allow that. I'm not sure what
you're actually asking.
