Add SOCKS support to WhisperBack

We patch WhisperBack’s .desktop file to start it with torsocks, and all I see is a long stream of:

WARNING torsocks[3823]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number 240. Denying the call (in tsocks_syscall() at syscall.c:165)

… on stderr, and the WhisperBack GUI never appears. WhisperBack starts fine without torsocks, though.
