 These torrc options are guard-related, but I don't know how well the new
 code supports them (or in some cases, I rather suspect it doesn't).

     * UseEntryGuards
     * UseEntryGuardsAsDirGuards. (I vote, deprecate this.)
     * NumEntryGuards
     * NumDirectoryGuards. (I vote, deprecate this.)
     * GuardLifetime
