 Many of the "client-specific" options in the tor manual page work with
 Hidden Services.

 Others, such as Socks/Trans/NATD/DNSPort, do not.

 It would be great to split up the client-only section into those options
 that truly only work for clients, and those that also affect the behaviour
 of hidden services (and bridge relays, and relays, and authorities).

 For example, when a bridge relay builds an anonymous 3-hop path to submit
 its descriptor, it is likely affected by all the client options that
 affect node selection. (Unless we specifically disable them for servers.)

 And a hidden service's paths are affected by these same options.
