Description: tor doesn't start since commit ca6528f002d74445e3d0a336aeb9074fc337307a:

tor: update init script

Changes: -add uci config -create pid file by procd -add reload function

If logging is activated I got the following message:

Aug 08 09:36:39.000 [warn] Unable to open "/var/run/tor.pid" for writing: Permission denied Aug 08 09:36:39.000 [err] Unable to write PIDFile "/var/run/tor.pid" Aug 08 09:36:39.000 [err] set_options(): Bug: Acting on config options left us in a broken state. Dying. (on Tor 0.4.6.6 ) Aug 08 09:36:39.000 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.

Tor isn't able to create the pid file and terminates. The reload function does also not work. This does fix the issues:

@e9hack I think you've included the wrong person. I've never heard of this.

@Wagnerp Yes you are right. I mean another Peter Wagner.
