Make the torify script use torify when available.

Update Torify to use torsocks by default and to warn when the user is
using the older tsocks program. Update torify and the torify man page
to refelect changes to torify. Add warnings in both.

\fBtorify\fR is a simple wrapper that attempts to find the best underlying Tor
wrapper available on a system. It calls torsocks or tsocks with a tor specific
configuration file.
torsocks is an improved wrapper that explictly rejects UDP, safely resolves DNS
lookups and properly socksifies your TCP connections.
tsocks itself is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application
that you would like to run socksified.
Please note that since tsocks uses LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied

to suid binaries.

You should also be aware that the way tsocks currently works only TCP
