 We should ensure that about:tor runs with only content privileges.

 Changing the getURIFlags() function in src/components/aboutTor.js to
 include {{{Ci.nsIAboutModule.URI_SAFE_FOR_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT}}} in the
 value returned should do the trick, but other things will need to be fixed
 as a result of that change.
