Comment:

 These changes are a good start, but they don't resolve the original issue:
 {{{
 $ make check
 $ grep usr src/test/test_rebind.sh.log
 2019-04-10 19:09:45.714 Tor logged: "Apr 10 19:09:45.709 [notice] Parsing
 GEOIP IPv4 file /usr/local/share/tor/geoip.", waiting for "Opened Socks
 listener"
 2019-04-10 19:09:46.128 Tor logged: "Apr 10 19:09:46.127 [notice] Parsing
 GEOIP IPv6 file /usr/local/share/tor/geoip6.", waiting for "Opened Socks
 listener"
 }}}

 I think we'll either need to change Tor's default share path at compile-
 time:
 {{{
 ./configure --datarootdir=src/config
 }}}

 Or explicitly supply `GeoIP` and `GeoIPv6` config lines in the defaults or
 user torrcs. (Or both, so that we catch future issues like this.)

 We might also want to set `configure --prefix` to an empty directory, to
 catch future issues like this.

 We also forgot to use an empty file for the defaults-torrc, so I added a
 commit to do that in all the scripts.

 Whatever we do, we should make sure we fix this issue in Travis and
 Appveyor.
