------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 The single onion service manual page entries encourage users to use
 Tor2Web when opening a SOCKSPort on a tor in single onion service mode.

 But this SOCKSPort will only work as a hidden service client, and not an
 exit client, because exits block single-hop circuits.

 So we should fix the log message and the docs to avoid mentioning Tor2Web
 mode as an alternative. (But I think we can keep the code as-is, it will
 work for the hidden service client case, but not the Exit case.)
