#5231: Sometimes Tor makes very long (=many hops) circuits

This can happen when we cannibalize a circuit which has already been
cannibalized. Wanoskarnet contributed a patch that prevents this by making
sure not to cannibalize circuits that are longer than three hops already.
I believe the change does make sense, as we don't really want to build any
super long circuits anyway.
I'm targetting this as a bugfix on the 0.2.3 release, I don't think we
need to backport it to 0.2.2.x. Please make sure this makes sense to you,
too.
