#7677: stem.process.launch_tor() hangs without stdout

If the user has a tor configuration that precludes logging to stdout, such
as...
{{{
tor_process = stem.process.launch_tor_with_config(
config = {
'ControlPort': '2778',
'Log': 'NOTICE file /tmp/tor_log',
},
)
}}}
... then the launch_tor() call will never return. This is because it
checks the initialization output to determine when the process has
bootstrapped.
I'm not sure of the best way of handling this. Note the issue in the
pydocs? Slip in a 'Log NOTICE stdout' option? Skip listening for
bootstrapping if there's no stdout?
For now just filing a ticket while trying to sort out other issues.
