Add __OwningControllerFD to allow controllers without controlports
This feature should help programs that want to launch and manage a
Tor process, as well as programs that want to launch and manage a
Tor instance in a separate thread. Right now, they have to open a
controlport, and then connect to it, with attendant authentication
issues. This feature allows them to just start with an
authenticated connection.
Bug 23900.
