Automatic time sync before connecting to Tor in automatic mode
If the user selects they are comfortable not hiding the fact they are using Tor, we can make their connection process much easier having an automated time sync.
We already defined guidelines about how to do that: !416 (merged)
This issue will track the development of a dedicated tool to run this and its integration into Tor Connection.

Roadmap:
- A first summary is sent by the end of 2021. This will be used to inform UX on how far we are to completion. UX can use this information to organize the user research that will happen around March 2022.
- Implementing the MVP is due 2022Q1
- After having a usability test, the UI could need polishing. This is tentatively scheduled for 2022Q2.
Once we're done here, we should check if #5774 is still a useful issue to keep open.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
