Watch for creation rather than updating of Tor cookie file

akwizgran requested to merge 1293-tor-cookie-file into master

Tor writes to a temporary file and then renames it over the old file, if any, so CLOSE_WRITE never occurs. The old code was working in most cases because it received IGNORED when the old file was unlinked and didn't check the event type.

Possible fix for #1293 (closed), but I haven't been able to reproduce the bug.
