    Update to Tor stable 0.4.8.13

```
Changes in version 0.4.8.13 - 2024-10-24
  This is minor release fixing an important client circuit building (Conflux
  related) bug which lead to performance degradation and extra load on the
  network. Some minor memory leaks fixes as well as an important minor feature
  for pluggable transports. We strongly recommend to update as soon as possible
  for clients in order to neutralize this conflux bug.

  o Major bugfixes (circuit building):
    - Conflux circuit building was ignoring the "predicted ports"
      feature, which aims to make Tor stop building circuits if there
      have been no user requests lately. This bug led to every idle Tor
      on the network building and discarding circuits every 30 seconds,
      which added overall load to the network, used bandwidth and
      battery from clients that weren't actively using their Tor, and
      kept sockets open on guards which added connection padding
      essentially forever. Fixes bug 40981; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha;

  o Minor feature (bridges, pluggable transport):
    - Add STATUS TYPE=version handler for Pluggable Transport. This
      allows us to gather version statistics on Pluggable Transport
      usage from bridge servers on our metrics portal. Closes
      ticket 11101.

  o Minor features (fallbackdir):
    - Regenerate fallback directories generated on October 24, 2024.

  o Minor features (geoip data):
    - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
      retrieved on 2024/10/24.

  o Minor bugfixes (memleak, authority):
    - Fix a small memleak when computing a new consensus. This only
      affects directory authorities. Fixes bug 40966; bugfix
      on 0.3.5.1-alpha.

  o Minor bugfixes (memory):
    - Fix memory leaks of the CPU worker code during shutdown. Fixes bug
      833; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
