Comment:

 We can't have the Sandbox and control port create an hidden service
 because of the simple fact that we can't, at runtime, tell the sandbox to
 add a directory path (HiddenServiceDir) so it will always fail.

 IMO, either we get a nicer sandbox somehow (if Linux even has a nice
 interface now?) or the only realistic thing short term is document it in
 the manpage (#28560).
