commit 0716cd7cb203f21876bf6fe1e1acdc438d8e2031
Author: Roger Dingledine <arma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    allow suggested effort to be 0
    
    First (both client and service), make descriptor parsing not fail when
    suggested_effort is 0.
    
    Second (client side), if we get a descriptor with a pow_params section
    but with suggested_effort of 0, treat it as not requiring a pow.
    
    Third (service side), when deciding whether the suggested effort has
    changed, don't treat "previous suggested effort 0, new suggested effort 0"
    as a change.
    
    An alternative design to resolve 'first' and 'second' above would be
    to omit the pow_params from the descriptor when suggested_effort is 0,
    so clients never see the pow_params so they don't compute a pow. But
    I decided to include a pow_params with an explicit suggested_effort
    of 0, since this way the client knows the seed etc so they can solve
    a higher-effort pow if they want. The tradeoff is that the descriptor
    reveals whether HiddenServicePoWDefensesEnabled is set to 1 for this onion
    service, even if the AIMD calculation is currently requiring effort 0.
