Comment:
I added a fixup to use the rend_service accessor.
For the rest of it, we're a bit late in the game to decide that we want to
have a new negotiation mechanism to disable one-ended padding.
Furthermore, if the padding overhead starts crushing us even before all
clients and relays have upgraded to use padding fully yet, we should just
disable the entire netflow padding feature and figure out how to deal with
that problem, rather than polluting the code with more complicated kill
switches and negotiation methods based on guesses about what might cause
problems, especially for issues that will only be a problem for a short
period of time.
