Require live consensus to compute responsible HSDirs.

Here is how this changes the HSv3 client-side and service-side:

For service side we already required live consensus to upload descriptors (see 9e900d1db7c8c9e164b5b14d5cdd4099c1ce45f0) so we should never get there without a live consensus.

For the client-side we now require a live consensus to attempt to connect to HS. While this changes the client behavior in principle, it doesn't really change it, because we always required live consensus to set HSDir indices, so before this patch a client with no live consensus would try to compute responsible HSDirs without any HSDir indices and bug out. This makes the client behavior more consistent, by requiring a live consensus (and hence a semi-synced clock) for the client to connect to an HS entirely.

The alternative would have been to allow setting HSDir indices with a non-live consensus, but this would cause the various problems outlined by commit b89d2fa1db2379bffd2e2b4c851c3facc57b6ed8. --- src/or/hs_common.c | 14 ++++++++------ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
