 At the moment this value (`REND_HID_SERV_DIR_REQUERY_PERIOD`) equals 15m.
 It's pretty long. E.g. if one tries to reach an onion service which
 descriptor has not yet been published (due to chaotic uptime [ricochet],
 etc) they're unable to reach this service for 15m. See some discussion
 about it in #20082.
 Should it be 15m or something less? If something else then why?
