 It would be nice if hidden-service setup supported proxying to a local
 unix-socket. nginx, Twisted (and probably others) support this for HTTP
 for example.

 This would reduce the chances of "accidentally" listening on a public TCP
 port (and eases the task of verifying this) and is somewhat faster.

 I'm unsure if it's better to have a new config-item, or overlap with the
 existing hidden-service listening specification.
