TorPlugin: Authentication cookie did not match expected value

When working on #1267 (closed) restarted Briar several times to check Tor connections. In one of those times, the TorPlugin did not start with this trace:

06-25 16:05:18.114 W/PluginManagerImpl: Plugin org.briarproject.bramble.tor did not start

Starting Briar again fixed it, but this should probably still not happen.
