This looks nice. The torsocks5 library looks very similar to
socksHandshake in the proxy.lua library; what are the main differences.
I would prefer to have a library handling "SOCKS" instead of "Tor
SOCKS"; Tor-related scripts can do whatever extra they need to deal with
specifics of Tor.

The status reporting needs to change. Instead of returning a status
containing an error string, return nil followed by an error string. This
is the standard used in other libraries and avoids having to do string
comparison to detect errors.
