Add a warning for using HTTPProxy with no other proxy.
From what I can tell, this configuration is usually a mistake, and leads people to think that all their traffic is getting proxied when in fact practically none of it is. Resolves the issue behind "bug" 4663.

+ o Minor features:
+ - Warn the user when HTTPProxy, but no other proxy type, is
+ configured. This can cause surprising behavior: it doesn't send
+ all of Tor's traffic over the HTTPProxy--it sends unencrypted
+ directory traffic only. Resolves ticket 4663.
