config: Stop recommending Tor2web if in non anonymous mode 



Because we don't allow client functionalities in non anonymous mode,
recommending Tor2web is a bad idea.

If a user wants to use Tor2web as a client (losing all anonymity), it should
run a second tor, not use it with a single onion service tor.

Fixes #21294.

    - Don't recommend to use Tor2web in non anonymous mode. In that mode, we

      disable client functionalities and recommending Tor2web as a solution is

      a bad idea because in that case client loses all anonymity. Tor2web

      should really only be used in very specific cases and with users

      *knowing* what they do. Fixes #21294; bugfix on tor-0.2.9.3-alpha.
