 Hi lovely tor folks. In December new **_HSLayer2Nodes** and
 **_HSLayer3Nodes** torrc options were added...

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/commit/?id=20a3f61

 These are unusual in a couple ways...

 * Tor uses proceeding underscores to indicate that a torrc option is
 private. These shouldn't appear in the tor manual, which these do.

 * Private options start with two underscores, not one.
