Comment (by teor):

 Now here's a challenge: sbws should set ConnectionPadding 0 if the option
 is supported by Tor.
 If the option isn't supported by Tor, then sbws should just continue.

 You can test with Tor 0.2.9 (no padding support) and Tor 0.3.3 or later
 (padding support).

 Here's a few things to try:
 * set the config option, and ignore the exception that stem returns for
 unsupported config options
 * use GETINFO config/names to see if the option is supported
