Running OnionShare in Tails

It's tricky to get all of the correct python dependencies in Tails. Until OnionShare is properly packaged in Debian (and their dependencies, flask and stem, are also packaged in the version of Debian that Tails is based on) and can just be auto-installed on boot, this is a hack to get it working.

Run the tails-onionshare binary in this folder as root, and OnionShare will use the libraries in the lib folder so they don't have to be installed system-wide.
