 Thanks for the patch! You are very close!

 A few things:
 - Instead of providing a patch file, it's better to publish your work on a
 git branch somewhere (e.g. on github) and link us to your repository. It's
 easier for us this way.
 - The changes file could be improved. It's user-facing so words like
 `unlink` and `tor_cleanup()` are not so helpful. Instead saying `Tor now
 deletes the CookieAuthFile when it stops` might be better. Also we say
 `Closes ticket 23271` instead of `Closes 23271`. You can run `make check-
 changes` to get warnings for these sort of stuff.
