[PATCH] Fix stale descriptor refetch dropping connection

When a refetch is requested for a v2 hidden service descriptor,
but we already have one cached, proceed with the connection
rather than dropping it into limbo.

 When making a connection, "rewrite_and_attach" considers a hidden
 service descriptor to be stale after 15 minutes. When this occurs,
 it asks the rendclient to refetch the descriptor. The rendclient
 notices that it already has a v2 hidden service descriptor cached
 and drops the request. This results in the connection falling
 through the cracks as no function attempts to further the
 connection attempt.

 This fix adds a single line which, instead of dropping the
 refetch request, passes the query on to be attempted with the
 cached descriptor.
