 Currently `clock_skew_warning()` doesn't log anything easily visible to
 Tor Launcher.  (It does a LOG_WARN but that's not enough to produce a
 failure dialog.)

 When we get a trusted clock skew indication, we should make sure to report
 it as a bootstrap problem, so Tor Launcher's existing logic will detect it
 as a fatal error.
