Comment (by nickm):

 > This one is still up in the air. It looks like
 directory_command_should_use_begindir() can return 0 for several reasons
 other than having TunnelDirConns==0.

 I *think* this is better now?  The only cases we don't handle from
 directory_command_should_use_begindir() that is actually reachable are:
   * You have configured a directory authority with no dirport.
   * You're trying to reach someplace whose ORPort you are firewalled from,
 but whose dirport you can reach.

 I think that's okay, though.  IIRC, the side effect of sending too many
 items through squid is that it gets truncated, not rejected?

 (And does squid still even act this way?)

 Anyways, see branch "ticket9969" in my public repository for this fix, and
 the rest of Arlo's patch split up.  What do you think, Arlo and others?
