Comment:
Instead of going to the ControlPort to send a NEWNYM command, Torbutton
could simply create a new SOCKS username each time the 'new identity
button is pressed'. Stream isolation will make both have the same outcome.
This would also reduce some complexity in the TBB launching script,
because they would be no need to pass environment variable around to get
access to the ControlPort.
