 code to migrate from the old format to the new format on upgrade so that
 we don't wipe out existing user preferences.

 haven't thought hard about which place is better. We'll need a patch for
 Tor Browser so it uses the new API, in either case.

 We need to do this in tor-android-service. The tor settings interface in
 topl just has getter methods, so their is no way at a interface level to
 pull out the values and then to set them back to the new format. Its up to
 each implementation to do migration like this.
