 The --list-torrc-options lists all settable options.

 The GETINFO config/names configuration command lists all listed options.

 In practice, this means that they differ when it comes to virtual
 (linelist_v) options like "HiddenServiceOptions" which are listed to the
 controller, but not settable.

 Do we care about this?

 The controller ''is'' allowed to GETCONF HiddenServiceOptions, but is not
 allowed to set it.  From the command line, there is no way to access it.
