[bug#70341] [PATCH v6] services: tor: Add support for pluggable transports.

[Nigko Yerden <nigko.yerden@gmail.com>]

Pluggable transports are programs that disguise Tor traffic, which
can be useful in case Tor is censored.  Pluggable transports
cannot be configured by #:config-file file exclusively because Tor
process is run via 'least-authority-wrapper' and cannot have access
to transport plugin, which is a separate executable (Bug#70302,
Bug#70332).

Example configuration snippet to be appended to
operation-system services
(see https://bridges.torproject.org/ to get
full bridge's lines):

(service tor-service-type
	 (tor-configuration
	  (config-file (plain-file "torrc"
				   "\
UseBridges 1
Bridge obfs4 ...
Bridge obfs4 ..."))
	  (transport-plugins
	   (list (tor-transport-plugin
		  (path-to-binary
		   (file-append
		    go-gitlab-torproject-org-tpo-anti-censorship-pluggable-transports-lyrebird
		    "/bin/lyrebird")))))))

* doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Document 'tor-transport-plugin'
data type and 'transport-plugins' option for 'tor-configuration.
* gnu/services/networking.scm: Export
'tor-configuration-transport-plugins', 'tor-transport-plugin',
'tor-transport-plugin?', 'tor-transport-plugin-role',
'tor-transport-plugin-protocol', and 'tor-transport-plugin-path'.
(<tor-configuration>): Add 'transport-plugins' field.
(<tor-transport-plugin>): New variable.
(tor-configuration->torrc): Add content to 'torrc' computed-file.
(tor-shepherd-service): Add file-system-mapping(s).

+@cindex pluggable transports, tor
+@deftp {Data Type} tor-transport-plugin
+Data type representing a Tor pluggable transport plugin in
+@code{tor-configuration}.  Plugguble transports are programs
+that disguise Tor traffic, which can be useful in case Tor is
+censored.  See the the Tor project's
+@url{https://tb-manual.torproject.org/circumvention/,
+documentation} and
+@url{https://spec.torproject.org/pt-spec/index.html,
+specification} for more information.
+
+Each transport plugin corresponds either to
+``ClientTransportPlugin ...'' or to
+``ServerTransportPlugin ...'' line in the default
+configuration file, see the @code{man tor}.
+Available @code{tor-transport-plugin} fields are:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{role} (default: @code{'client})
+This must be either @code{'client} or @code{'server}.  Otherwise,
+an error is raised.  Set the @code{'server} value if you want to
+run a bridge to help censored users connect to the Tor network, see
+@url{https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/,
+the Tor project's brige guide}.  Set the @code{'client} value
+if you want to connect to somebody else's bridge, see
+@url{https://bridges.torproject.org/, the Tor project's
+``Get Bridges'' page}.  In both cases the required
+additional configuration should be provided via
+@code{#:config-file} option of @code{tor-configuration}.
+@item @code{protocol} (default: @code{"obfs4"})
+A string that specifies a pluggable transport protocol.
+@item @code{path-to-binary}
+This must be a ``file-like'' object or a string
+pointing to the pluggable transport plugin executable.
+This option allows the Tor daemon run inside the container
+to access the executable and all the references
+(e.g. package dependencies) attached to it.
