 Adding an EXTRA_INFO attribute to tor versions

 Tor versions often contain information about the SCM commit they came
 from, for instance...
 0.2.3.16-alpha-dev (git-8be6058d8f31e578)

 This isn't part of the spec, which in turn choked stem when I tried to
 parse those versions. Adding this in and better defining a couple other
 points...

 - The STATUS_TAG should only contain non-whitespace. Otherwise... well,
 just about *anything* could be a 'valid' status tag.

 - The spec says that status tags should be "compared lexically". The ASCII
 value of 'Z' is greater than 'A' so I guess this means that they're sorted
 in a reverse alphabetical order. This seems weird, but clarifying it.
