------------------------------+------------------------------
 The channel_t is_client flag is inaccurate: relays set it when the other
 end uses a CREATE_FAST cell, but usecreatefast is set to 0 in the
 consensus.

 This means that the only time CREATE_FAST is used is when a relay gets an
 extend request *without* an ntor key, and the purpose of the circuit is
 *not* one of the hidden service purposes where TAP is allowed.

 See should_use_create_fast_for_circuit() for details.
