New FallbackDir option to add extra directories for bootstraping

This replaces the old FallbackConsensus notion, and should provide a
way -- assuming we pick reasonable nodes! -- to give clients
suggestions of placs to go to get their first consensus.

+  o Major features:
+    - Add a new FallbackDir option to use when we can't use a directory
+      from the consensus (either because we lack a consensus, or because
+      they're all down).  Currently, all authorities are fallbacks by
+      default, and there are no other default fallbacks, but that will
+      change.  This option will allow us to give clients a longer list
+      of servers to try to get a consensus from when first connecting 
+      to the Tor network, and thereby reduce load on the directory
+      authorities.
