Comment:

 Looks like an overloaded guard at first glance.  I don't particularly view
 this as a critical issue since there is no alternative to this solution
 than "too bad, hope the Guard isn't overloaded later", since rotating to a
 different Guard will do really bad things to anonymity.

 Do rdv. circuits honor `MaxClientCircuitsPending`? If not, should there be
 a separate var?

 CCing the HS people who may have an actual solution to the issue.
