#23026: Rename hybrid_encrypt functions to prevent accidental use

--------------------------------------+--------------------------------
The old hybrid_encrypt functions are necessary for implementing TAP and
old-style hidden services, but they're also obsolete, since they produce
malleable output. We shouldn't encourage anybody to use them. We should
add a comment to this effect, and rename them to something less general-
sounding.
