The previous behavior was to throw an Automat exception, when a state machine
was given a LOST event from the initial non-connected state, and it didn't
have a handler for it. This version throws ServerConnectionError instead.
Still needs a test

This provides a clear error in case the user doesn't have an internet
connection at all, or something is so broken with their DNS or routing that
they can't reach the server. I think this is better than waiting and
retrying (silently) forever.
If the first connection succeeds, but is then lost, subsequent retries occur
without fanfare.

This shifts most reponsibility to the new txtorcon "Controller" object, where
it belongs. We no longer need a list of likely control-port locations, nor do
we need to keep track of the SOCKS port ourselves.
The one downside is that if a control-port is not reachable, then this does
not fall back to using a plain SOCKS port (usually tcp:localhost:9050).
txtorcon no longer uses txsocksx, so it no longer advertises a simple way to
use Tor without the control port. This shouldn't affect users who run the
TorBrowserBundle, or who are running a tor daemon which they can control
directly, but it may break for users who want to use a pre-existing tor
daemon that they don't have permissions to speak control-port to.
