 Supposing something goes wrong with TLS, we'll wish we had never
 implemented CREATE_FAST.

 Supposing that we're talking to a node with ntor support but without ECDHE
 support in TLS, we'll wish we weren't using CREATE_FAST.

 I propose that in 0.2.5, we should stop using CREATE_FAST with nodes that
 support the ntor handshake.
