Comment:

 After discussion with teor on IRC, it appears the patch are good.

 Reason is that a single onion service will always 3-hop to the HSDir. Thus
 anything not authenticating on the directory connection channel means it
 is not a public relay.

 The goal of this is also to not allow C -> Bridge -> HSDir.

 > Maybe I missed it, but, is there something specific we're aiming to fix
 with this patch? Or is this just completeness from the earlier "stop
 allowing single-hop anything" changes?

 To answer your question Roger, completeness yes. Point is to close down
 any access to HS component in a single hop fashion to both remove load on
 the network but also stop very early any single hop clients instead of
 stopping them at the rendezvous point only.
