Fix #363

Notes:

  • Not tested yet, should work in theory though (if Tor is running) and should anyway not break anything if Tor couldn't be connected to. But needs to first be tested (I'll try to check connecting to remote Tor node, @stepansnigirev can you try maybe the rescan UTXO on a pruned node, can set explorer to Blockstream's http://explorerzydxu5ecjrkwceayqybizmpjjznk5izmitf2modhcusuqlid.onion/)
  • I made connecting to remote Bitcoin Core node use Tor by default, since Tor will cause calls to be significantly slower, it might make more sense to add this as an option in settings? Or only for .onions?

Edit:

Tested connecting to myNode Bitcoin Core over Tor, works.

Is requests_session.proxies = {} needed?

Session object already initialize the attribute proxies to {}

Right, that's redundant, removed. Thanks for the review!
