------------------------------+--------------------
 Nyx's header panel polls the control port for hibernation information. Tor
 0.2.9.x adds a new HIBERNATION_STATUS event we can listen to instead to
 cut down on the GETINFO queries we make.

 This is a very small change to our load on the control port (one GETINFO
 request every five seconds), so not really a high priority. If somebody
 wants to do this then great, but I'll probably wait until tor versions
 prior to 0.2.9.x are deprecated to avoid the headache of 'if version x to
 this, if y do that'.
