Every so often we have concerned users thinking they misconfigured their
relay's exit policy, since in arm they see circuits that end at their
relay and whose final hop is labelled 'Exit'.
E.g.:

I think for non-general-purpose circuits, we should call that third hop
something else. I'm open to suggestions -- one option would be to just
call the last hop on a non-exit circuit "Middle" also. Another option
would be to call it "Internal".
Specifically, we could apply this new name to everything with circuit
purpose other than GENERAL. Or we could apply it to all circuits that have
the IS_INTERNAL flag. Maybe the latter approach is a bit more general.
