[tor-relays] Relay down, "rejected", help

Enable the ControlPort in your torrc file by uncommenting it, and setup
authentication to the ControlPort in one of two ways: HashedControlPassword
or CookieAuthentication.

To enable CookieAuthentication, simply remove the hash sign in front of
that line. I can't remember how to do HashedControlPassword off the top of
my head, but can find the answer should you like.

Arm isn't typically run with a config file, but can be with --config-path
if I remember correctly.
