Document the hardlimit of HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient basic

I ran some tests on HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient basic auth-type and found that it stopped working when I created 49 or more clients. I started with 10 clients and kept adding 10 more at a time. When I had 39 clients, the hidden service worked, but when I added 10 more, the hostname and client_keys were generated as expected, but hidden service stopped working for all of the clients.

tlx_cl03,
... tlx_cl47,
tlx_cl48,
tlx_cl49

According to the man page and the specs, the stealth mode doesn't work for more than 16 clients, but implied that the basic mode should work.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
