 In 5a801a8c8b71c9551a80913398135809cb10cecd we started implementing a
 change that sends CONF_CHANGED events when a tor configuration option
 changed. This has the unintended side-effect of generating a whole bunch
 of warnings for all CONFIG_TYPE_LINELIST_S options:

 {{{
 [warn] Can't return context-sensitive 'HiddenServiceDir' on its own
 [warn] Can't return context-sensitive 'HiddenServiceDir' on its own
 [warn] Can't return context-sensitive 'HiddenServicePort' on its own
 ... etc
 }}}

 Fixing option_is_same() might serve as a workaround, but it seems that the
 whole implementation doesn't have a way to deal with these config options
 correctly, so maybe even the spec needs to be re-thought here.
