Don't set Torbutton environment variables globally

Commit 6a2de87 sets TOR_SOCKS_HOST and TOR_SOCKS_PORT globally to point to the SocksPort dedicated to Iceweasel. If some random piece of software took these envvars into account, then it would partially defeat our stream isolation design.

So, we should set these environment variables for Iceweasel only, e.g. in the wrapper that we will probably create anyway for dont autostart iceweasel (#5735 (closed)).
