Comment:

 An implementation of this can be found in my bug3608 branch.

 It uses TransportProxy lines in or_state_t to store the ports where server
 proxies are binding.

 The TransportProxy line format is: TransportProxy <method> <addrport>,
 which is not terribly sophisticated or extensible. Currently, if we find a
 corrupted TransportProxy line we just warn the user without trashing the
 current state. A corrupted TransportProxy line should only happen with
 manual editing of the state file.
