 I brought this up on IRC and someone argued that the current behavior is
 fine, but after talking to arma about it, he told me to open a ticket.

 Currently when a Hidden Service is unconfigured at runtime, the intro
 circuit is killed, the hidden service is removed from the global list, and
 client connections are left as is.

 This behavior is somewhat surprising, and a case can be made that
 "unconfigured is unconfigured" and client connections should be killed.
 The actual change would be done at the tail end of
 `rend_configure_services()`.
