#33136: Setting TOR_TRANSPROXY=0 is the same as TOR_TRANSPROXY=1

------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
It looks like the torbutton code that is using the `TOR_TRANSPROXY`
environment variable is only checking if the variable exists, without
looking at its content. So setting the environment variable to `0` or
empty still enables it, which can be confusing.
