Comment (by dgoulet):

 It's very difficult to actually measure the failure rate in the wild but
 with #15463 being seen lately bringing this one to 1 is saner for the HS
 and Tor network than the current value of 8 which is a pretty high amount
 of retry. Without DoS defense or counter measures, keeping this one low is
 ideal in this context.

 ACK on the patch.
