Reject create/begin/etc cells with {circ,stream}ID 0.
Otherwise, it's possible to create streams or circuits with these bogus IDs, leading to orphaned circuits or streams, or to ones that can cause bandwidth DOS problems. Fixes bug 7889; bugfix on all released Tors.

+ o Major bugfixes:
+ - Reject bogus create and relay cells with 0 circuit ID or 0 stream
+ ID: these could be used to create unexpected streams and circuits
+ which would count as "present" to some parts of Tor but "absent"
+ to others, leading to zombie circuits and streams or to a
+ bandwidth DOS. Fixes bug 7889; bugfix on every released version of
+ Tor. Reported by "oftc_must_be_destroyed".
