[Buildroot] [PATCH] tor: fix building if GCC's C standard is not gnu99

Up to date tor (at least starting from 0.2.6) requires compiler with C99
plus some extensions support.

If default GCC's C standard < c99 (that's the case at least for ARC)
you'll see this on attempt to build tor:
----------------------->8--------------------
src/common/address.c: In function ''tor_addr_parse_PTR_name':
src/common/address.c:502:5: error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode
     for (int i = 0; i < 16; ++i) {
     ^
src/common/address.c:502:5: note: use option -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 to compile your code
----------------------->8--------------------

Once you follow compiler advice and enable c99 support with "-std=c99"
you'll pass that failure but will see tons of other errors, see
https://www.mail-archive.com/tor-dev@lists.torproject.org/msg06273.html

And only g99 resolves all problems at once.
