See <https://www.torproject.org/docs/hidden-services> for a description
of how Tor connects to hidden services.

Current versions of Tor retrieve only v2 hidden service descriptors.
Each v2 hidden service descriptor is stored on 6 relays chosen
pseudo-randomly from those assigned the HSDir flag in the current
consensus.
