 Split off #22488.

 Sometimes Onionoo will parse a descriptor that hasn't appeared in any
 consensus. Descriptors are not trusted until they are in a consensus. They
 might have the wrong details. This means that Onionoo can have the wrong
 details.

 This is not a big deal. It just takes a bit more time for users to work
 out where the problem is. Sometimes the problem is on the directory
 authorities (example: #24864). And sometimes it is in the relay config.
