 We haven't had a notion of an HSAuthority since we dropped the v0 hidden
 service descriptor design completely back in 0.2.2.  (See #10849 for
 more.)  Specifically, in 0.2.2 or later, neither clients nor relays
 publish anything resembling a v0 hidden service descriptor, and "HS
 authorities" have nothing to do.

 That said, we should drop the vestigial AlternativeHSAuthority option,
 since it has apparently has misled some folks into thinking that we do
 have HS authorities. (See #10722.)
