Description

It seems like the keybase-installer v1.0.0 does not fetch the files from https://dist.keybase.io/ over the Tor SOCKS Proxy, even if the user calls `sudo keybase --tor update` or `sudo keybase --tor-strict update`

Research direction

Reproduce the update with `sudo keybase --tor update` and `sudo keybase --tor-strict update`, then trace the keybase-installer updater path that fetches files from dist.keybase.io. Confirm whether those requests use the Tor SOCKS proxy; done means both commands fetch the update through Tor as intended.
