Comment(by mikeperry):

 We have a solution outline that covers all four use cases (TBB, Tails,
 Orbot, and Relay bundles). Here is the relevant excerpt for tor:
  - Tor implements DisableNetwork config var
    - The variable will prevent all non-control port activity while on
      - DisableNetwork can also disable remote control ports, too, if
        that simplifies implementation. Our 4 use cases don't care about
        remote controllers
    - It must be toggleable via SETCONF
