Previously our defaults for DataDirectory, PidFile, RunAsDaemon, and
Log differed from upstreams. Now Tor behaves just like before (with our own DataDirectory and all) only when run as the debian-tor user. If invoked as any other user, Tor will behave just like the pristine upstream version. svn:r6821

+Some changes have been made to the Tor source to integrate it better into
+Debian. If Tor is started as the 'debian-tor' user, then:
- RunAsDaemon is enabled by default.
- PidFile is set to /var/run/tor/tor.pid. No default upstream.
- default logging goes to /var/log/tor/log instead of stdout.
- DataDirectory is set to /var/lib/tor by default. Uses $HOME/.tor upstream.
+If Tor is started as any other user it behaves just like upstream's.
