When closing parallel introduction points, the given reason (timeout)
was actually changed to "no reason" thus when the circuit purpose was
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCE_ACK_WAIT, we were reporting an introduction
point failure and flagging it "unreachable". After three times, that
intro point gets removed from the rend cache object.
In the case of CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCING, the intro point was
flagged has "timed out" and thus not used until the connection to the HS
is closed where that flag gets reset.
This commit adds an internal circuit reason called
END_CIRC_REASON_IP_NOW_REDUNDANT which tells the closing circuit
mechanism to not report any intro point failure.
This has been observed while opening hundreds of connections to an HS on
different circuit for each connection. This fix makes this use case to
work like a charm.
Fixes#13698.

Authorities are no longer voting on Named, so specifying nodes by
nickname isn't a clever thing to do. (Not that it ever was!) So
remove the documentation that suggests that you should do it.
Additionally, add proper cross-references to our __node__ lists, and
explain about the optional $ before identity digests.
Also, the oxford comma: endorsed by Steven Pinker, my spouse, and my
11th grade English teacher.
Closes 13381.
We were only using it when smartlist_choose_node_by_bandwidth_weights
failed. But that function could only fail in the presence of
buggy/ancient authorities or in the absence of a consensus. Either
way, it's better to use sensible defaults and a nicer algorithm.
Now, if a router ever changes its microdescriptor, but the new
microdescriptor SHA256 hash has the same 160-bit prefix as the old
one, we treat it as a new microdescriptor when deciding whether to
copy status information.
(This function also is used to compare SHA1 digests of router
descriptors, but don't worry: the descriptor_digest field either holds
a SHA256 hash, or a SHA1 hash padded with 0 bytes.)
