Comment (by teor):

 I've created a new branch `feature-17178-rsos` that:
 * adds a new boolean option RendezvousSingleOnionServiceNonAnonymousServer
 * removes the previous options
 * sets the one-hop flag in the functions which launch intro and rendezvous
 circuits
 * simplifies the remaining code
 * rebase onto the latest 0.2.8
 (There's also `feature-17178-rsos-02610` based on Tor 0.2.6.10.)

 This can be tested with the chutney branch `feature-17178-rsos` at
 https://github.com/teor2345/chutney.git using `src/test/test-network.sh
 --flavor rsos-min`.

 This code still needs the following before it can be merged:
 * a proposal: to get community consensus on the tradeoffs between
 efficiency, features, and splitting the hidden service anonymity set, and
 * unit tests.
