#27949: Wrong circuit & padlock displayed when using an onion service through Alt-

 TBB version 8.5a2, Linux/amd64

 When connecting to a website that offers an onion service through the Alt-
 Svc header, the circuit (and padlock icon) aren't updated when the browser
 reconnects through the onion service.

 I confirmed the bug occurs by connecting to an endpoint, on an Alt-Svc-
 enabled service, that returns “tor” when going over an exit node and
 “onion” when going over the onion service:

   https://www.facebook.com/si/proxy

 (This is a facebook-internal endpoint, and I will replace the suggested
 reproduction endpoint once I setup an Alt-Svc-enabled website and
 reproduce the issue on it.)
