271: Algorithm tweak to allow multiple entry guards. 

Previously, we had NumEntryGuards kind of hardwired to 1.  Now we
have the code (but not the configuarability) to choose randomly from
among the first N primary guards that would work, where N defaults
to 1.

Part of 20831 support for making NumEntryGuards work again.
