Prohibit the use of one entry node with an HS

In a nutshell, since a circuit can not exit at its entry point, it's very
easy for an attacker to find the hidden service guard if only one EntryNodes
is specified since for that guard, the HS will refuse to build a rendezvous
circuit to it.

For now, the best solution is to stop tor to allow a single EntryNodes for
an hidden service.

Fixes #14917

o Major bugfix
- For an hidden service, it is now prohibited to use one single
EntryNodes to avoid a very easy guard discovery attack. For more
details, see the ticket description here:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14917. Fixes #14917.
