New description:

 Building on #17015, we could:
 * Preserve the old path before test-network.sh modifies it, and use the
 first tor in that path (#17015)
 * Check for /usr/bin/tor and /usr/local/bin/tor (And maybe /opt ?)
 (#17015)
 * Check the version of each tor binary, find a minimal set of different
 tor versions, then use each version in a round-robin fashion
