My testing shows that I received errors which turned out to be fatal ("/usr/libexec/c-lightning/lightning_connectd: libbacktrace: no debug info in ELF executable") when I had two `bind-addr=...` settings in my config file, which the instructions insinuated since c-lightning would already have been installed and runnable (therefore, already having a bind-addr).
Case 5 in the Tor documentation currently states that if you use `--bind-addr=autotor:127.0.0.1:9051`, you can get your onion address by running `lightning-cli getinfo`. I have not found that to be the case; with that flag no onion address will be generated.
On the other hand, if `--addr=autotor:127.0.0.1:9051` is used instead, an onion address is generated and `lightning-cli getinfo` behaves as the docs say.
This is a preparatory step for the automatic documentation generation
that is going to use `sphinx-doc`. Each document should include a top
level header that matches the name and scope of the document and all
following headers should be of a lower level than the top-level
header.

Also:
- the lines of code that contain more than one elements are no more inline.
This should improve visualization in small screens (no auto line wrapping).
- Found a "solution" for the references: people looking at markdown presentation
will see one only reference to the Tor project.
In the text source all the "references" are shown and also serve in markdown as
hypertext links.
Feel free to improve.
- difference between --bind-addr=autotor and --addr=autotor
- typos corrected (non-persistent and Tor)
- "references" dropped
- table improved
- Outgoing case explained where is useful
The actual structure suffers of many repetitions. I could work on
a compact structure based on a "decision tree modular" approach if that
may seem useful.
Adapted for the markdown format.
Also developed in the preparation parts and each case of use has been detailed.
A doubt in the non persistent address remain:
In the original document
> --announce-addr=autotor:<torservice_ip:port> : try to generate an temp V2 onion addr.
this doesn't seem to work for me (several errors are produced at start up).
instead the `--addr=autotor:127.0.0.1:9051`seems to work well (at least for version 0.6).
Currently the Tor port for autotor is always 9735; the --port option
is deprecated, though we could append an optional '[@portnum]' to
'autotor' if people want it.

This is a rebased and combined patch for Tor support. It is extensively
reworked in the following patches, but the basis remains Saibato's work,
so it seemed fairest to begin with this.
Minor changes:
1. Use --announce-addr instead of --tor-external.
2. I also reverted some whitespace and unrelated changes from the patch.
3. Removed unnecessary ';' after } in functions.
