I think we've finally gotten all the background service longevity sorted
out, especially on Lollipop where it seemed to be much more brutal, in
outright killing of the TorService instant, even without calling
onDestroy(). Anyhow, now startForeground() is doing what it should be,
we aren't binding any more (Just use broadcasts and startService()
calls), and Orbot doesn't show up in recent apps anymore, so no more
swiping away....
