Log:
Retry circuits if the exit node is optional and nonexistant.

Previously, when we had the chosen_exit set but marked optional, and
we failed because we couldn't find an onion key for it, we'd just give
up on the circuit.  But what we really want to do is try again, without
the forced exit node.

Spotted by rovv.  Another case of bug 752.  I think this might be
unreachable in our current code, but proposal 158 could change that.

+    - When we had picked an exit node for a connection, but marked it as
+      "optional", and it turned out we had no onion key for the exit,
+      stop preferring the exit and try again.  This situation may not be
+      possible now, but will probably become feasible with proposal 158.
