While .onion URLs don't commonly use TLS, using Tor to access
non-.onion URLs is possible and TLS is advisable in that case.
TLS + SOCKS support is also useful for non-Tor SOCKS proxies
(e.g. "ssh -D"), but 127.0.0.1:9050 (Tor) is probably the most
standardized address.
While we're in the area: switch to v5.12, use autodie, and
ensure all necessary modules are present.

v2 onions are insecure, deprecated and going away. v3 names are
unfortunately longer and more difficult to remember, but should
be more resistant to attack than v2 ones.

These tests require a running Tor instance (defaulting to
127.0.0.1:9050) and Internet connectivity, but otherwise
work pretty well.
