--------------------+------------------------------
 A few of the values under {{{TestingTorNetwork}}} in {{{doc/tor.1.txt}}}
 are out of date compared to the options in
 {{{src/app/config/testnet.inc}}}. Also, some of the units listed for
 options only state 'minutes|hours' when they actually support 'seconds' as
 well. I only fixed the ones that were relevant to {{{TestingTorNetwork}}},
 but there are probably others as well. Will add a PR shortly.

 In addition, many of the options that are of type {{{INTERVAL}}} use
 different units in the man page. For example:
 {{{
 ShutdownWaitLength NUM
 V3AuthVotingInterval N minutes|hours
 TestingV3AuthVotingStartOffset N seconds|minutes|hours
 DormantClientTimeout N minutes|hours|days|weeks
 }}}

 Since these are all of type {{{INTERVAL}}}, is there a reason why these
 units are different when all of them support any unit in {{{unitparse.c}}}
 (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks)? One reason could be that some
 options have lower bounds (for example {{{V3AuthVotingInterval}}} must be
 greater than 300 seconds which is of the order of minutes), but the user
 can just specify 300 seconds rather than 5 minutes.
