tor bash completion

• It can complete all options with Tor version 0.4.7.8.
  • As tor --help message does not provide options and recommends to check the manual, so bash-completion _parse_help() does not work, this can lead to outdated futured versions of options, as these options were manually inserted.
  • As for --list-torrc-options, it is complete and will bring all available torrc options for the cli.
• It can not complete all possible arguments, because that is would be too much work for one person and would be much better if made by upstream.
  • Completing file path, directory, boolean values or few arguments are easy to deal with, but more advanced arguments that involve [addr:]port are better dealt if manually typed.

Note: Windows options were purposefully not set.
