+ o Hidden Service Enhancement
+ Client now uses an introduction point failure cache to know when to
+ fetch or keep a descriptor in their cache.
+
+ When fetching a descriptor, for every introduction points in it, we look
+ them up in the failure cache to know if we keep the descriptor or not.
+ For this to work, everytime an introduction points is discarded (ex:
+ receiving a NACK), we note it down in our introduction cache. If all
+ introduction points for an onion service are in our failure cache, we
+ discard the descriptor and fetch a new one.
+
+ See rendcache.c for a detailed explanation of the cache's behavior.
