-------------------------+---------------------
 There are certain scenario where a Tor Hidden Service does not need
 Location Anonymity, think for example to the Facebook use-case.

 In a very similar way to the Tor2web mode for outgoing connection to Tor
 Hidden Service, this ticket is to enable a Tor Hidden Service to remove
 it's 3-hops by connecting directly to it's RendezVous Point.

 It's desiderable that this feature should work also with #12844 allowing a
 Tor Hidden Service to become a RendezVous point itself.

 It's suggest that this feature become part of Tor2web mode of Tor, so that
 when Tor2web mode is enabled there's:
 -  -3 Hops on outgoing connection (when connecting to a Tor HS)
 -  -3 Hops on incoming connections  (when exposing a Tor HS)

 This feature would be required for Facebook and for OnionFlare feature of
 Tor2web described at https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/issues/228 .
