 Working on #30733 asn pointed out to check the dormant mode.
 Dormant mode was introduced in tor 0.4.0.4-rc.

 As teor suggested, we should check whether sbws stop trying to make
 circuits, and therefore become dormant, when:

 - the network goes down (it probably just stops and prints a traceback, as
 happened in #32939)
 - tor doesn't have a recent consensus or descriptors

 We also should check what happen when sbws starts with tor in dormant mode
 and probably set `DormantCanceledByStartup 1` until we fix bugs.

 Maybe we should include this ticket as part of #33121.
