#2411: expand getinfo circuit-status to show build_state flags

 Priority:  normal      |   Milestone:       
Component:  Tor Client  |     Version:

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 We've got a usability bug where users are misinterpreting the circuit
 listing on Vidalia's network map. In #2114 I suggest that Vidalia should
 start giving the user more information.

 But Tor really doesn't export enough information for Vidalia to know what
 to say. Right now we export a PURPOSE= argument, but the string we send
 isn't very useful. Also, we don't export some flags, like onehup_tunnel,
 which Vidalia needs to know to tell the user that the circuit in question
 is probably for fetching directory information.

 We should come up with a spec change and implement it. Shouldn't be too
 hard.
