 doesn't hurt to add it directly to the gradle build file for tor build.

 What do you mean? If it's not needed then why do we have the additional
 complexity? If it *is* needed then it seems to me supporting the Tor build
 case directly in `tor-android-service` is a plus. Other folks might want
 to build `tor-android-service` the same way as we.

 and do not add this change to our repo directly? If we add `mavenLocal()`
 as last item then there should not be a functional difference to the
 status quo for projects fetching the dependencies from any of the other
 specified repositories.
