 Often the help desk gets tickets where users cannot connect due to
 incorrect date/time settings.

 Currently, Tor Launcher doesn't give any feedback about the error. It
 would be great if Tor launcher detects the warning below and alerts the
 user they need to set their time and date correctly. It would be even
 better if it says the inaccuracy of time within the alert box.

 Example log:
 [WARN] Our clock is 21 hours, 17 minutes behind
 the time published in the consensus network status document (2015-05-03
 21:00:00 UTC). Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please check
 your time and date settings!
