The 0.2.9 series is now a long-term support release, which will
receive backported security fixes until at least 2020.
tor should now build against libressl, as in
```nix
tor.override { openssl = libressl; }
```
Also re-enable the test-suite; works fine on my end.
Per upstream, this contains primarily stability & performance fixes.
Notably, the relase fixes a bug that would sometimes make clients
unusable after leaving standby mode, as well as plugging a memory leak.
Also:
- Turn patchPhase into postPatch
- Add systemd and libcap on linux (and also pkgconfig for detection);
we should be able to change the service unit to Type=notify
- Disable checks for now, the test-suite is failing in sandbox due to
lack of network
This may seem strange, but tor distributes its 'torify' wrapper which in
turn attempts to use torsocks to bridge a connection, meaning 'tor'
users out the box may want it to work.

(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
