Comment:

 I think these log warnings are uselessly severe.  It would be better to
 lower the severity that we are passing to crypto_log_errors(): we
 shouldn't warn the user just because we couldn't read a key or verify a
 signature somewhere or other.

 That's not quite enough, though: we'll need to make sure that the other
 functions in Tor that call the relevant functions in crypto.c are logging
 better warnings at a more appropriate level.
