Add (and specify) a BadDirectory flag to networkstatuses, so authorities can tell clients that some caches are broken.  Also, implement an as-yet-unused function to estimate how many bytes will be sent on a directory connection.

81aff5d529 change the v2 dir spec to reflect how the code actually works
with respect to the directory-signature line.

this also resolves nick's issue with how to change the
directory-signature entry in votes. unless there's more to
it than that.

Add pragma:no-cache and expires headers so that directory lookups can work better in the presence of caching HTTP proxies. (I would have used Cache-Control, but that is an HTTP/1.1 thing.)  All timeouts are currently wild-assed guesses.

Never discard a descriptor for being too old until either it is recommended by no authorities, or until we download a better (more recent and recommended) one for the same router. This will eventually make it possible for servers to publish less often.

Change to BadExit logic: Let authorities set an "I list bad exits" flag.  Consider an exit bad if it is listed as bad by more than half of *those* authorities.  This gives us a better migration path.

8af07e817e no: 'must not' is for things that actually break specified behavior.
'should not' is for things that you really oughtn't do, for your own
good or for others' own good.

Reserve the nickname "Unnamed" for routers that can't pick a hostname; any
 router can call itself Unnamed; directory servers will never allocate Unnamed
 to any particular router; clients won't believe that any router is the
 canonical Unnamed.

ee32b06897 Fork off v0 of the protocol spec; we are going to add versioning soon so we can make backward-incompatible changes without breaking the whole network. Also, fork the v0 directory protocol into its own document, and turn dir-spec.txt into the present tense.
