Subject: Add a warning for using HTTPProxy with no other proxy.

From what I can tell, this configuration is usually a mistake, and
leads people to think that all their traffic is getting proxied when
in fact practically none of it is.  Resolves the issue behind "bug"
4663.

+  o Minor features:
+    - Warn the user when HTTPProxy, but no other proxy type, is
+      configured. This can cause surprising behavior: it doesn't send
+      all of Tor's traffic over the HTTPProxy--it sends unencrypted
+      directory traffic only. Resolves ticket 4663.
