Tor protocol errors causing silent dropped cells

While testing vanguards, I've got some mystery cases client side where circuits are getting closed with END_CIRC_REASON_TORPROTOCOL, but Tor is not emmitting any log lines that correspond to this, even at debug level.

This is happening for circuits with purpose CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_REND_READY_INTRO_ACKED. Additionally, all circuits seem able to fail during construction with END_CIRC_REASON_TORPROTOCOL, with no Tor log messages even at debug loglevel. Possibly more ntor handshake failures, similar to #29700 (moved)?

Finally, CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCE_ACKED circuits are getting closed with a END_CIRC_REASON_FINISHED after receiving an invalid cell, seemingly after they are done being used.

The vanguards addon now outputs this bug number at INFO log level when this happens.

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