[tor-commits] [tor/master] Don't warn about missing guard state if controller picked first hop

[asn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

commit 9409c7f2f52f192eaf497c56daa485d75358de65
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Mar 8 13:41:20 2021 -0500

    Don't warn about missing guard state if controller picked first hop
    
    See comments about why this needs a new flag and we can't just use
    CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_CONTROLLER.
    
    Fixes #40285; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
