Remove some lingering tsocks cruft.
Now the manpages no longer refer to tsocks or tsocks.conf, and we no
longer have or ship a tor-tsocks.conf. The only remaining instances
of "tsocks" in our repository are old ChangeLog and ReleaseNotes
entries, and the torify script saying that it doesn't support tsocks.
Fixes bug 8290.

It calls torsocks or tsocks with a tor specific +wrapper available on a system. It calls torsocks with a tor specific configuration file. + torsocks is an improved wrapper that explicitly rejects UDP, safely resolves DNS lookups and properly socksifies your TCP connections. + -tsocks itself is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application that -you would like to run socksified. + - Please note that since both method use LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied to suid binaries. WARNING ------- -You should also be aware that the way tsocks currently works only TCP -connections are socksified.
