Tor Launcher should be able to resolve DNS host names for the proxy configuration

As of now, entering a fully-qualified domain name instead of an IP address in Tor Launcher produces a scary error message when trying to connect to Tor: Unacceptable option value: HTTSProxy failed to parse or resolve. Please fix.

This problem is specific to Tails as in Tor Browser outside of Tails, a DNS resolution is done when connecting and so no error message is displayed.

We should make DNS resolution possible for the tor-launcher user.
