#5174: Tor relay can listen to ports < 1024 without running as root

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Rule 11 on the following page states that it is required for Tor to run as
 root in order to open ports < 1024. Looking at the git log i believe this
 used to be the case but was fixed (commit
 b4bd836f46549b6263c8c55eb3bc127884b72340).
