[tor-relays] Updating tor to get fix for #15083?

[Elliott Jin]

Thanks for the response, Tom!

I'm on Ubuntu; I ended up following the instructions at
https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en and selecting
"experimental-0.2.6.x".  I'm now running 0.2.6.7, which `arm` says is still
a recommended version :)
