 ed25519-donna supports batch verification that is faster than verifying
 each signature individually in a loop.  The Tor side code assumes such a
 construct is available, so it should be wired in.

 Mostly already done as `#if 0`-ed out code, just needs to be integrated
 into the new infrastructure added via #16467 and debugged/cleaned up.
