Consider hibernation before dropping privs

Without this patch, Tor wasn't sure whether it would be hibernating or
not, so it postponed opening listeners until after the privs had been
dropped. This doesn't work so well for low ports. Bug was introduced in
the fix for bug 2003. Fixes bug 4217, reported by Zax and katmagic.
Thanks!
