Update debian defaults in preparation for starting as root.
Previously the debian defaults were only loaded when we started Tor as the debian-tor user. Now they are also loaded when started as root. In addition to logging, pidfile, datadir and runasdaemon we also change the User and Group options from their NULL default to "debian-tor" so that Tor correctly setuids/setgids to the role user the package created. This will allow us to start the daemon as root. svn:r13685

Big servers at the moment regularly use more than 10k FDs, so our old
default of 8k no longer is sufficient. On the other hand we don't want
lower end systems to run out of FDs on Tor's account.
+ * If we run as root also apply debian defaults.
+ * Add User=debian-tor and Group=debian-tor to debian defaults. That allows
+ us to start Tor as root and have it setuid/setgid to the target user.
