    Bug 25733: Avoid assert failure if all circuits time out.
    
    Prior to #23100, we were not counting HS circuit build times in our
    calculation of the timeout. This could lead to a condition where our timeout
    was set too low, based on non HS circuit build times, and then we would
    abandon all HS circuits, storing no valid timeouts in the histogram.
    
    This commit avoids the assert.
