commit 4d8a9dab27c0ba676239ac030b083e1151aa2eae
Author: Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans at eds.org>

    broadcast Tor state to any app that might want to know
    
    In order for apps to follow the current state of Tor, this broadcasts the
    state both locally, since global broadcasts are insecure, and globally, for
    any app to receive.  The internal workings of Orbot need to use a local
    broadcast, otherwise any app could trigger stop, start, etc or DoS in other
    ways.
