commit 9493711077a0de1a704657b9645f0127e77455ed

    Mark confirmed guards primary as appropriate.
    
    If a guard becomes primary as a result of confirming it, consider
    the circuit through that guard as a primary circuit.
    
    Also, note open questions on behavior when confirming nonprimary guards
