706340150f3ae26fce4659f8fa0a5d57149d2fb3 Elaborate on the need to re-login on Debian-based systems to use tor following usermod (clashicly)

Pull request description:

  Starting bitcoind with `-onlynet=onion` immediately after adding bitcoind user to debian-tor group will yield the following notice on debug.log:

  	"tor: Authentication cookie /run/tor/control.authcookie could not be opened (check permissions)"

  Elaborate on the need to re-login to ensure debian-tor group has been applied to bitcoind user after:

  	sudo usermod -a -G debian-tor username

  Verification can be done via `groups` command in shell.
  Otherwise operator may not be aware at first launch they are not running a tor enabled node.
