Fix length of replaycache-checked data.
This is a regression; we should have been checking only the public-key encrypted portion. Fixes bug 24244, TROVE-2017-009, and CVE-2017-8819.

+ o Major fixes (security):
+ - When checking for replays in the INTRODUCE1 cell data for a (legacy)
+ hiddden service, correctly detect replays in the RSA-encrypted part of
+ the cell. We were previously checking for replays on the entire cell,
+ but those can be circumvented due to the malleability of Tor's legacy
+ hybrid encryption. This fix helps prevent a traffic confirmation
+ attack. Fixes bug 24244; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha. This issue is also
+ tracked as TROVE-2017-009 and CVE-2017-8819.
