#2820: --hide-ip should turn on connections tcp=tor

 Priority:  normal          |      Milestone:  1.12.0

----------------------------+------------------------
 While manually testing tor-based client setup, I hit an extra step that I
 thought could be removed. While we've defined the `[node] reveal-IP-
 address = false` setting to be purely a safety flag (the only thing it can
 do is hit the brakes on node startup), I think it might be ok to have the
 `--hide-ip` CLI argument be more active.

 In particular, I think I'd like `--hide-ip` to cause *two* things to
 happen:

 * set `[node] reveal-IP-address = false`
 * add `[connections] tcp = tor`

 The reasoning is that:

 * with reveal=false, the default `tcp = tcp` will be rejected
 * the only other legitimate value is `tcp = tor` (we might add `tcp =
 none` at some point, but that'll be strictly less functional than tor)
