 Hi network team. I was just about to tweak Stem to treat 552 GETINFO
 response codes as "I'm not configured to be a relay" per...

 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25853
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25852
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/commit/?id=c5453a0

 However, the spec addition says "Will send 552 error if the server is not
 running as nion router or if there's non-transient internal error." So I'm
 unsure what the response code actually indicates. If we *are* a relay that
 what are the scenarios where tor validly returns a 552?

 For now in stem gonna pretend that part doesn't exist and 552s indicate
 'not a relay'. :)
