    Use a more secure hash function for the circuitmux hashtable.
    
    Fixes bug 40931; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha. Also tracked as
    TROVE-2021-005.

+  o Major bugfixes (security):
+    - Resist a hashtable-based CPU denial-of-service attack against
+      relays. Previously we used a naive unkeyed hash function to look up
+      circuits in a circuitmux object. An attacker could exploit this to
+      construct circuits with chosen circuit IDs in order to try to create
+      collisions and make the hash table inefficient.  Now we use a SipHash
+      construction for this hash table instead. Fixes bug 40391; bugfix on
+      0.2.4.4-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021-005.
