------------------------------+--------------------------------
 On some devices the Android platform will send messages send to the
 classical Unix syslog service to Android's ringbuffer log that can be read
 via a USB cable with the `adb` tool.

 Since we are unsure if *every* Android device does this automatic
 conversion from Syslog to Android's logging system, it might make sense to
 have an "Log <severity> android" line for `torrc` like we currently have
 with "Log <severity> syslog" in the case we have a technical user with a
 device that does NOT send syslogs to the Android log who found, or is
 willing to debug, some issues for us.
