Rename -tor to -onion to better reflect what it does.
I've seen users confused multiple times thinking they should be using -tor to set their tor proxy and then finding in horror that they were still connecting to the IPv4 internet. Even Jeff guesses wrong about what the knob does, so I think we should rename it. This leaves the old knob working, we can pull it out completely in a later release.
