------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Currently, `CIRCUIT_IS_ORIGIN()` actually looks at the purpose, not the
 base magic number:

 {{{
 #define CIRCUIT_IS_ORIGIN(c) (CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_IS_ORIGIN((c)->purpose))
 }}}

 We should move it to look at the `magic` like `CIRCUIT_IS_ORCIRC()` is
 doing.

 The reason is because I was adding tracing events to the circuit subsystem
 and I kept having state transition event with a circuit global identifier
 of 0 which can't be because that value is set just after allocation.

 But at that point, the purpose has not been set so `CIRCUIT_IS_ORIGIN()`
 wasn't returning true.

 Furthermore, this made me discover another issue documented in #31608
 where if we do make this change, we _must_ fix this ticket else we have a
 NULL deref.
