Comment (by dawuud):

 i've now gotten my socks client foolscap transport plugin to work with my
 tahoe dev branch using these configuration settings:

 ```
 [connections]
 tor.socks_host = 127.0.0.1
 tor.socks_port = 9050
 tcp.socks_host = 127.0.0.1
 tcp.socks_port = 9050
 ```

 this is my dev branch:
 https://github.com/david415/tahoe-lafs/tree/517.add-client-plugin-config.0

 i've also added unit tests... to make sure the socks plugin is loaded
 correctly
 and that the port is converted from str to int etc.

 my foolscap socks client plugin is in my dev branch here:
 https://github.com/david415/foolscap/tree/tor-client-plugin.0

 please review.
