    Resume documenting the dot-noconnect syntax
    
    Just because it's gone from 0.2.2.x doesn't mean we should undocument
    it. Manually reverts (and modifies) c148e13154b81.

+  When Tor sees an address in this format, it immediately closes the
+  connection without attaching it to any circuit. This is useful for

+  using the same instance of Tor that they're controlling.
+
+  This feature was added in Tor 0.1.2.4-alpha, and taken out in Tor
+  0.2.2.1-alpha over fears that it provided another avenue for detecting
+  Tor users via application-level web tricks.
