Comment:

 We will follow the same logic as we are using for the https-e .tor.onion
 naming UI:

 1. user types the regular domain
 2. user is "transparently" redirected to the alt-svc .onion
 3. the onion icon appears in the url bar
 4. the circuit display gets updated to show .onion address

 In this case the circuit display will show the .onion address and the url
 bar will show the human memorable/meaningful name.
