Comment(by atagar):

 Added some simple checks that the torrc matches what the wizard would
 generate. The 'tor --verify-config' still has value since it's checking
 the validity of values for options like RelayBandwidthRate and
 MaxCircuitDirtiness, but not the end of the world if you'd like to toggle
 the RUN_VERIFY flag.

 The torrc contents are in memory after this so I'm tempted to have us
 write torrcContents rather than doing shutil.copy. This would avoid any
 timing issues of copying unvalidated data, but I suspect this would also
 prevent the copy itself from being atomic. :/
