Rephrase onion service overview

Asn suggested a improvement in this page: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/overview/

The onion service connects to the rendezvous point (through an anonymized circuit) and sends the "one-time secret" to it. The rendezvous point simply relays (end-to-end encrypted) messages from client to service and vice versa.
The rendezvous point makes one final verification to match the secret strings from you and service (the latter also comes from you but has been relayed through the service).
