Nick Mathewson c4812698c3 Remove long-obsolete members from the state file.

Tor has a feature to preserve unrecognized state file entries in
order to maintain forward compatibility.  But this feature, along
with some unused code that we never actually removed, led to us
keeping items that were of no use to the user, other than at worst
to preserve ancient information about them.

This commit adds a feature to remove obsolete entries when we load
the file.

Closes ticket 40137.

   o Minor features (state):
     - When loading the state file, remove entries from the statefile that
       have been obsolete for a long time.  Ordinarily Tor preserves
       unrecognized entries in order to keep forward-compatibility, but
       these statefile entries have not actually been used in any release
       since before the 0.3.5.x. Closes ticket 40137.
