New description:
Most of https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html#TBBSocksPort talks about
the SocksPort and then tells users to unconfigure the ControlPort to unset
automatic socksport. I propose the option should be to separate
controlport and socksport configuration. If the user wants an automatic
controlport but not automatic socksport, they have to dive into the torrc.
It's not logical to 'uncheck controlport' to configure a socksport, and
then user is left without a form for entering the socksport address and
port number.
