o Minor feature (developer tools):
- Add a script to help check the alphabetical ordering of option
names in the manual page. Closes ticket 33339.
o Minor feature (onion service client, SOCKS5):
- Add 3 new SocksPort ExtendedErrors (F2, F3, F7) that reports back
new type of onion service connection failures. The semantics of
these error codes are documented in proposal 309. Closes
ticket 32542.
o Minor feature (onion service v3):
- If a service cannot upload its descriptor(s), log why at INFO
level. Closes ticket 33400; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor feature (python scripts):
- Stop assuming that /usr/bin/python exists. Instead of using a
hardcoded path in scripts that still use Python 2, use
/usr/bin/env, similarly to the scripts that use Python 3. Fixes
bug 33192; bugfix on 0.4.2.

failure happens due to a TLS error. Previously we would just call
