[guardian-dev] Netcipher Usage of TorServiceUtils

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Dominik,

It would be great to have you using NetCipher!  Those shell commands are
used on older platforms to detect whether Tor is running. I haven't
looked at them in a while, maybe Nathan can comment more.  If we can get
rid of them entirely and still support android-10, then that would be
the ideal outcome.

Sorry for the slow response, I was on vacation.
