o Minor bugfixes (circuit path selection):
- Don't count path selection failures as circuit build failures. This
should eliminate cases where Tor blames its guard or the network
for situations like insufficient microdescriptors and/or overly
restrictive torrc settings. Fixes bug 25705; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
