 BecomeDormantAfter

 Minimum: 10 minutes.  Maximum: forever.  Default: 24 hours.

 > A way to say whether having an open stream with no network traffic on it
 should keep Tor from becoming dormant.

 StayAwakeForIdleStreams

 Boolean. Default: True.

 Maybe not, but if we have this, let's name it "CheckDormantPeriod"

 > A way to say that Tor should start out dormant

 StartInDormantMode

 boolean, default false.

 > or should remember dormancy status across invocations?

 Let's have this be a separate ticket if we decide to do it.
