 Once #3279 is complete, we should extend the new Torperf to interact with
 its tor processes, except talking to the control port which should come
 later.  In this ticket, Torperf should create any missing Tor data
 directories and torrc files under the path given in `DataDirectory`
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/2565#comment:9 here].
 Some logic is necessary to auto-generate data directory names, increment
 port numbers, etc.  Also, there are some torrc config options that don't
 show up in Torperf's config file, but that need to go into the torrc
 files, e.g., `MaxCircuitDirtiness 1 minute`, `UseEntryGuards 0`, and
 `RunAsDaemon 1`.  See `measurements-HOWTO` for details.

 Assigning to tomb upon request.
