Changes (by arma):

 * milestone:  Tor: unspecified => Tor: 0.3.4.x-final


Comment:

 I independently re-came up with the idea of using a socksport option, when
 thinking about the issues on #19910. I think it is a good idea.

 I'm moving the milestone up for this one, since it is looking like Tor
 Browser is going to want to remove their hack, and have Tor pick up the
 hack burden.
