 Tor used to warn but continue on some hidden service misconfigurations.
 Instead, the fix I am adding #20484 will consider these misconfigurations
 a config error, and terminate tor.

 I think it's better to stop with an error, than potentially reveal
 sensitive information due to a misconfiguration (or, far more likely, just
 ignore hidden services the user has misconfigured).

 Bugfix on commit 915c743 in #6411 in tor-0.2.7.1-alpha
