Would be nice to be able to connect to .onion hosts through TOR network

@Overtorment, I will take a look. I don't have much experience with TOR in the socket level, any help is greatly appreciated!

@Overtorment, I look it up, but sadly it is out of the scope of this module. react-native-tcp-socket aims to provide the lowest level TCP socket API for Android & iOS, but TOR requires protocols that are built on top of TCP.

I could set up CloudFlare's TOR DNS for .onion domains, but the connection after that would be direct with the server IP (which defeats the whole purpose of TOR).

However, someone could build a tor-request like library for React Native using react-native-tcp-socket under the hood.
