Merge #12384: [Docs] Add version footnote to tor.md
39d2911 [Docs] Add version footnote to tor.md (Damian Williamson)

Pull request description:

  [Docs] Add version footnote to tor.md

  Added note to section 2, part -edits to `/etc/tor/torrc`- indicating this is only required for Tor version 0.2.7.0 and older, since section 3 states it is valid for Tor version 0.2.7.1 and newer. Added ref link from section 2 version footnote to section 3. Re-styled headings to work on GitHub -alternate heading style markup creation issue with numbered headings and thus headings and automatic heading links are broken-

  Ref: [Issue# 12376](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/12376)

3421e74601 Clarify listenonion
> This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the -listenonion, -torcontrol and -torpassword settings. To show verbose debugging information, pass -debug=tor.

But it is correct to say that the feature is enabled *regardless* of whether a connection to Tor can be made.

I propose to clarify that so that users can eliminate these in their logs (when `listen=1` and no Tor).
And I think it's okay to clarify about the `listen` option, because on several occasions when I read this before I always assumed `listening` meant `server=1` which cost me a lot of time in troubleshooting.

5009710994 [doc] Add testnet hidden service port to the example tor config.
Seems like there are a lot of advertised testnet HS nodes that
don't actually work. Lack of the testnet port on the example
HS config might be one reason.

102518fdb7 Rename -tor to -onion to better reflect what it does.
I've seen users confused multiple times thinking they
 should be using -tor to set their tor proxy and then
 finding in horror that they were still connecting to
 the IPv4 internet.

Even Jeff guesses wrong about what the knob does, so
 I think we should rename it. This leaves the old
 knob working, we can pull it out completely in a
 later release.
