Comment:

 There are two commits on the following branch that need review:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 launcher.git/log/?h=bug20761-01

 The older commit switches the default to TCP listeners.
 The second commit implements our Proposal 2 from comment:12.

 Switching back to TCP listeners after running with use_ipc = true may
 still require some manual cleanup by the user (e.g., if the unix: paths
 were written to their torrc), but I don't think we can avoid that until we
 fix #20906.
