 asn pointed out that Tor relays forbid and will warn if clients create
 paths of the form A - B - A or A - A - A. The vangaurd path restrictions
 currently will do this, though.

 Additionally, they apply exit restrictions while choosing a guard, which I
 think we should disable. Since vanguard paths are all at least 3 hops
 before a chosen exit, this is a simple change.
