Bug 40892: Move tor app data.
We stored app data such as torrc-defaults and the geoip files in the
directory where we are storing also the user data, which might be
confusing.
In addition to that, with this change, we make Linux and Windows
coherent with macOS, where we were already storing this data in the app
bundle for signing/notarization purposes.
And in general, it is clearer if we move user data to live outside the
program directory, as the updater will stop touching that directory.
