feature addition: CLI option to specify tor socks ip and port #173

The pond client absolutely needs a way to specify tor socks ip and port... so that it can be used with a tor instance running on an isolated environment like hypervisor and Raspberry Pi.

I'd like to point out here that agl's most excellent xmpp-client has a configuration file; by default named .xmpp-client which for most people's setups contains the following tor socks5 info: "Proxies": [ "socks5://127.0.0.1:9050" ],

Pond however has a binary statefile. Therefore I think it appropriate to specify this information on the commandline... instead of an additional configuration file.

I will soon add this feature and submit a pull request. I expect to add this feature within the next couple of days.

i looked at the source and realized pond client already has POND_TOR_ADDRESS environment variable.
