     - Add a BEGIN_DIR relay cell type for an easier in-protocol way to

   o Minor features:

       requests and replace the no-such-server answer with a "helpful"

       Config option "ServerDNSDetectHijacking 0" lets you turn it off.

     - Add an "EnforceDistinctSubnets" option to control our "exclude
       servers on the same /16" behavior.  It's still on by default; this
       is mostly for people who want to operate private test networks with
       all the machines on the same subnet.
