 check.torproject.org is unmaintained and overloaded (see #6156). We've
 rate-limited the version check, but we still need a homepage for our
 browser to use instead.

 We've got the work from #3749 (see
 http://jmtodaro.com/tor/check/success.html), but it's way too busy and
 overloaded with text for a homepage. We should remove the infoboxes, most
 of the text, and the footer. In fact, I think the only thing we should
 keep is the portion of that page up to and including the search box (which
 should point to StartPage, not DDG).

 We also need to use DTD strings from Torbutton rather that flat-text (for
 translation).
