DuplexOutgoingSession flushes its output stream if it's idle for a
transport-defined interval, causing an empty frame to be sent. The TCP
and Tor plugins use a socket timeout equal to twice the idle interval to
detect dead connections.

See bugs #27, #46 and #60.

This makes it more likely that connections will be closed cleanly.
However, the interrupt() method is currently ineffective for incoming
sessions as it won't interrupt a blocking read, e.g. when the packet
reader is waiting for a packet.

Because that's what it does.

We don't need two separate executors for long-running IO threads.

This should enable us to connect to contacts faster at startup and
whenever a new means of connecting becomes available.

Bug #47.

- fallback to SIM card before phone locale
- add disabled code to lookup the country from GPS, disabled because it requires a network call

- this will be useful later for e.g. auto-disabling Tor

This allows the oldest LocalAuthor to be used as the default.
