The option HSLayer2Guards pins the second hop, and the option HSLayer3Guards pins the third hop. Closes ticket 13837.

While we thought we would stop the rendezvous attempt after one failed circuit, we were actually making three circuit attempts before giving up. Now switch to a default of 2, and allow the consensus parameter "hs_service_max_rdv_failures" to override.
