Stop frobbing timestamp_dirty as our sole means to mark circuits unusable
In a number of places, we decrement timestamp_dirty by MaxCircuitDirtiness in order to mark a stream as "unusable for any new connections. This pattern sucks for a few reasons: * It is nonobvious. * It is error-prone: decrementing 0 can be a bad choice indeed. * It really wants to have a function. It can also introduce bugs if the system time jumps backwards, or if MaxCircuitDirtiness is increased. So in this patch, I add an unusable_for_new_conns flag to origin_circuit_t, make it get checked everywhere it should (I looked for things that tested timestamp_dirty), and add a new function to frob it. For now, the new function does still frob timestamp_dirty (after checking for underflow and whatnot), in case I missed any cases that should be checking unusable_for_new_conns. Fixes bug 6174. We first used this pattern in 516ef41ac1fd26f338c, which I think was in 0.0.2pre26 (but it could have been 0.0.2pre27).

+ o Major bugfixes:
+ - When we mark a circuit as unusable for new circuits, have it
+ continue to be unusable for new circuits even if MaxCircuitDirtiness
+ is increased too much at the wrong time, or the system clock jumped
+ backwards. Fix for bug 6174; bugfix on 0.0.2pre26.
