As I mentioned in #6937, I think we could really use a shared memory mutex
as some kind meeting point for various Tor specific applications. This
likely would be created by Tor or by a zygote that launches things like
Tor and the Tor Browser. In theory, we could then have the launcher
application and ensure we don't launch extra copies of Tor, we could
ensure that we know _how_ we may connect as well as how to authenticate;
lots of stuff becomes possible with a little IPC love.
I have a sketch of the zygote/launcher process but I need to take it from
my notepad to text, so I'm merely capturing this part of the process in
this ticket. More tickets to come.
