 (This isn't a problem with Snowflake itself so putting `Core Tor` as
 component.)

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Copy paste `snowflake-client` inside
 `/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports` to `/usr/bin`.
 2. Add `UseBridges 1`, `ClientTransportPlugin snowflake exec /usr/bin
 /snowflake-client`, as well as `Bridge snowflake 0.0.3.0:1
 2B280B23E1107BB62ABFC40DDCC8824814F80A72` to `torrc`.
 3. `sudo service tor restart`
 4. Looking at the task manager I don't see that snowflake is running as a
 process, this most likely means that it was blocked from launching due to
 the AppArmor profile distributed with Tor.

 OS: Ubuntu 17.10. /etc/apt/sources.list has Tor Project repositories. Also
 Tor 0.3.2.x-alpha that was used when testing.
