Comment:

 Hrm the solution to this is actually a bit involving... We would need some
 sort of global `or_options_t` that is *exactly* what's in your torrc (or
 modified by control port) which saveconf would use instead of the current
 global one that "tor" uses. Else we have a version of the option with let
 say an underscore at the end which represents what tor should use and the
 one with out is from the configuration file.

 Both solutions requires lots of work.

 Maybe a better solution is to set the default to `auto` and then 1 if
 relay 0 if not?
