 Tor and chutney can be unreliable, so we might need to do integration
 tests on PrivCount without chutney.

 Here's one possible design:
 * split PrivCount into generic rust modules, tor-specific rust modules,
 and tor interface modules
 * create a command-line interface to the generic rust modules and tor-
 specific rust modules, which takes events, writes results, and aggregates
 results from files
 * use these file-based interfaces to integration test the non-tor, non-
 network PrivCount code
