Initialize the extorport auth cookie before launching PTs.
PTs expect the auth cookie to be available immedieately after launch, leading to a race condition when PTs opt to cache the extorport cookie once immediately after startup. Fixes #15240.

+ o Minor bugfixes (pluggable transports):
+ - Initialize the extended OR Port authentication cookie before launching
+ pluggable transports. This prevents a race condition that occured when
+ server-side pluggable transports would cache the authentication cookie
+ before it has been (re)generated. Fixes bug 15240; bugfix on
+ 0.2.5.1-alpha.
