 Run a hidden service, so it correctly establishes intro points and uploads
 its descriptor correctly. Then shut off the hidden service.

 Then try to visit it, and watch your HS_DESC control events. You get
 something like:

 In this case I fetched the hsdesc four times for the service. According to
 the original design, I was supposed to fetch it twice: that is, I fetch it
 once, try all the intro points, once they've all failed, I fetch it once
 more just to see if it changed, and if it didn't change, I should stop and
 fail right then.

 So: is there a bug where we continue rather than failing? Or is the
 descriptor that I receive different in each case? What's going on?
