'Safe cookie' is a new controller authentication method that nothing
yet supports (and probably won't for a long while since it's
considerably harder than either of the prior auth methods). I have a
plan to add support for it to stem...
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5262

Then, when arm is migrated to stem, we'll have support for this.
However, this probably won't happen for a long while (many months). In
the meantime I would suggest using password authentication. There
should be a torrc option for using normal cookie auth but I'm not
spotting it offhand...
