#9774: Explain "#ifdef CURVE25519_ENABLED" better

 I find the CURVE25519_ENABLED ifdefs really confusing. It would seem to
 mean "can we do ntor handshakes", but if it does, why is there a bunch of
 ntor code not covered by ifdefs? When should I check ifdef when doing
 something ntor-related, and when shouldn't I? Are there things that aren't
 ntor-related where it matters?

 I was about to send Nick mail asking, but then I realized that other /
 future Tor developers should want to know the answer too.

 Thanks!
