While the TCP query to Google DNS before provided more robust DNS services,
it could still leak outside the VPN service based on platform version
and other circumstances. By using PDNSD as a proxy back into Tor's limited DNS
service, we ensure DNS does not leak.
Tor's DNS port doesn't work well with the VPN mode, so we
will use PDSND to resolve DNS over Tor using OpenDNS. This is
a hack/solution that we learned from SocksDroid.
Since running stopService() automatically triggers Service.onDestroy(),
there is a nice way to hook in and run the shutdown procedure. This
provides an obvious point of entry as well as simplifying the shutdown
procedure.
When clicking on "Wizard" from the menu, then clicking back, it gets stuck
in a strange back stack purgatory, and then randomly changes the language.
So purge the wizard stuff for now, and add back the parts that are still
needed once that is all figured out.
This also simplifies the refactoring of the Intent handling.

Note that Java uses several deprecated two-letter codes. The Hebrew ("he")
language code is rewritten as "iw", Indonesian ("id") as "in", and Yiddish
("yi") as "ji". This rewriting happens even if you construct your own
Locale object, not just for instances returned by the various lookup
methods.
The Languages utility class merges the techniques from ChatSecure and
Courier. It fetches the supported locales from the APK itself, and fetches
the native names of the languages from the system.
There are a couple of different times when Orbot will be unable to kill the
running processes. One example is when Orbot is running, then uninstalled,
then installed again.

Since most people using devices without Google Play will be in China, where
Google is generally blocked, instead direct people to f-droid.org unless
they have Google Play installed.
This automatically detects whether Google Play or FDroid is installed, if
so, clicking the promo app button will take the user straight to the
install page. If neither is installed, then the user is taken to the page
for that app on https://f-droid.org
- If you paste bridge addresses from Gmail, you get some strange
characters that were causing problems. This looks for that, and
other formatting related gotchas.
- This also moves all configuratino to the torrc.custom file
instead of using the control port. These changes require you to
restart anyhow, and using the torrc.custom is more reliable as it
affects the tor process on launch, and not post control port interaction.
We now refresh the VPN and tun2socks interfaces when the network
type switches, and we do so in a way that does not cause traffic to leak.
The new interface is established before we close the old one.
