server+tor: add support for Tor HASHEDPASSWORD authentication method
This provides users an alternative over the SAFECOOKIE authentication
method, which may not be as useful if users are connecting to a remote
Tor sevrer due to lnd not being able to retrieve the cookie file.

===
The tor package contains utility functions that allow for interacting with the
Tor daemon. So far, supported functions include:
* Routing all traffic over Tor's exposed SOCKS5 proxy.
* Routing DNS queries over Tor (A, AAAA, SRV).
* Limited Tor Control functionality (synchronous messages only). So far, this
includes:
* Support for SAFECOOKIE, HASHEDPASSWORD, and NULL authentication methods.
* Creating v2 and v3 onion services.
In the future, the Tor Control functionality will be extended to support v3
onion services, asynchronous messages, etc.
