Nick Mathewson 7da06e43da No longer exit for missing required protocolversions on an old consensus
Specifically, if the consensus is older than the (estimted or
measured) release date for this version of tor, we assume that the
required versions may have changed in between that consensus and
this release.

Implements ticket 27735 and proposal 297.

o Minor features (required protocols):
- Tor no longer exits if it is missing a required protocol, if the
consensus that requires the protocol predates the release date of the
version of Tor. This change prevents Tor releases from exiting because
of an old cached consensus, on the theory that a newer cached
consensus might not require the protocol. Implements proposal 297;
closes ticket 27735.
