Add support for authenticated hidden services to the tor library #1162

It would greatly improve the security and privacy one could achieve with a custom server if Chatsecure-iOS would add support for authenticated hidden services (TOR) to it's current application.

This would be as easy as making it possible to change the "HidServAuth" variable in the TOR configuration file (torrc), by the means of a simple UI textbox, for example located under advanced settings.

Authenticated hidden services (which run an XMPP sever) could the be accessed by Chatsecure-iOS clients which have the corresponding key/cookie written in their torrc file!
