Comment (by mikeperry):

 The problem is that this logging to disk happens on Mac and likely also
 Windows already. If we also save a linux log file, we can more easily
 chase down disk leaks like #12472 and others that apply to those users.

 However, since we can and probably should fix #12472 first, I reverted
 c2bd8a5f070e771623aebfb66e95e9e954e5522d until we have an HTTPS-Everywhere
 alpha with that fix.

 I'm going to leave this open though because Tor Browser still
 unconditionally logs to disk on Mac and probably Windows. Patches welcome!
