 curl has a --libcurl option that transforms a curl command-line into
 libcurl code:
 https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#--libcurl

 We could do the same with a tor command-line,

 But we wouldn't want C code generation in tor itself, so we should build a
 separate tool. That will be a lot easier once our config parsing has been
 refactored.
