Comment(by ln5):

 If I'm reading _connection_write_to_buf_impl() correctly, a non OR
 connection will never be flushed (unless zlib is true, which it's not
 when coming from connection_write_to_buf()) -- ssize_t extra is set
 only for CONN_TYPE_OR.  This looks like a bug -- the comment says /*
 just try to flush all of it */ but that won't happen.

 For our case, it might not help fixing this.  Will
 conn->outbuf_flushlen really be >= 1<<16?

 Should we bother making the flushing work for this case or just force
 a flush in assign_onionskin_to_cpuworker()?
