Nick Mathewson 90f6071d8d 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.
