If we only have a single nameserver, raise the threshold to decide that the nameserver is dead.  (Another fumbling attempt to do something about bug 326.)

Fix bug 364: check for whether popular hostnames (curently google, yahoo, mit, and slashdot) are getting wildcarded.  If they are, we are probably behind a DNS server that is useless: change our exit policy to reject *:*.

81aff5d529 change the v2 dir spec to reflect how the code actually works

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.

[Needs review.] Add a BEGIN_DIR relay cell type for an easier
 in-protocol way to connect to directory servers through Tor.
 Previously, clients could only connect to director servers over Tor
 from exit nodes, but couldn't get directory information anonymously
 from a non-exit cache without getting a directory server involved.
 
 This needs testing, and needs client-side code to actually exercise it.

Refactor entry guard status logic a lot; allow more factors [like not
 having a Guard flag or being listed in ExcludeNodes] to render a guard
 "unlisted" (now called "unusable"); track guard down status (now
 called "unreachable") separately from is_running.
