prop224: Implement a service intro point failure cache
Imagine a Tor network where you have only 8 nodes available due to some
reasons. And your hidden service wants 8 introduction points. Everything is
fine but then a node goes down bringing the network to 7. The service will
retry 3 times that node and then give up but keep it in a failure cache for 5
minutes (INTRO_CIRC_RETRY_PERIOD) so it doesn't retry it non stop and exhaust
the maximum number of circuit retry.
In the real public network today, this is unlikely to happen unless the
ExcludeNodes list is extremely restrictive.
