Comment (by warner):

 oh, yeah, `create_node.py` `write_node_config()` is Tor-centric here:

 {{{
     if config["hide-ip"]:
         c.write("[connections]\n")
         c.write("tcp = tor\n")
         c.write("\n")
 }}}

 Earlier (in `_CreateBaseOptions.postOptions`) we allow either tor or i2p
 to satisfy `--hide-ip`.

 What if we change that tcp=tor clause to try
 `tor_provider._import_txtorcon()`, and if that fails, write out `tcp=none`
 ? We can't write out `tcp=i2p` because I2P doesn't let you connect to
 normal TCP hints.
