Disable extending to private/internal addresses by default
This is important, since otherwise an attacker can use timing info to probe the internal network. Also, add an option (ExtendAllowPrivateAddresses) so that TestingTorNetwork won't break. Fix for bug 6710; bugfix on all released versions of Tor.
