 Retrying connections is the wrong level of abstraction at which to think
 about circuit failure behavior IMO (see comment on #15942); we should
 consider whether, as a client or an HS, we're ever doing anything like
 repeatedly retrying to build a circuit without smart backoff behavior for
 the sake of DoS resistance though.
