Comment (by mikeperry):

 Ok, I am now fairly convinced that AUTHENTICATE could be bootstrapped into
 this position for TLS. We would need some form of RELAY_AUTHENTICATE
 though, and still would need to leverage #572 and #5968.

 For circuits/onionkey auth, we probably still need a new VERIFY cell, but
 if we can authenticate TLS very strongly, that might not matter. I'll
 leave that for a separate ticket.
