 circuit_can_use_tap() checks the circuit purpose to make sure that it's an
 onion service circuit. But it should also check that the circuit is for a
 v2 onion service before allowing TAP.

 There should be a field in the circuit or extend_info that we can use for
 this.

 This is security-low, because it's a defence in depth mechanism that
 doesn't provide as much defence as we thought.
