#28897: Stop running twice destination usability tests

-------------------------------+-------------------------------
Every time that a relay is measured, it is first checked whether
destination is usable, and then run connect_to_destination_over_circuit,
which checks again if destination is "usable".
It implies two locks, and a destination can fail in a row due to the relay
being unstable.
It'd be better to determine that a destination is not usable, either by
trying to make a connection not over Tor, or after a X number of failures
in a row.
