Once an element has been added to {PRIMARY_GUARDS}, we do not remove it until it is replaced by some element from {CONFIRMED_GUARDS}. + That is: if a non-primary guard becomes confirmed and not every primary + guard is confirmed, then the list of primary guards list is regenerated, + first from the confirmed guards (as before), and then from any + non-confirmed primary guards guards.
Note that {PRIMARY_GUARDS} do not have to be in {USABLE_FILTERED_GUARDS}: they might be unreachable.
