 Tor SHOULD not use same country. Please fix this already.

 1. Read ExcludeNodes if exist.
 2. Build "country array".
 3. While connect to 1st, pick 1 country and delete it from country array.
 4. While connect to 2nd, instruct the 1st node to use 2nd, pick 1 country
 and delete it from country array.
 5. same as 4

 result:
 [UK]-[CN]-[RU]
