Comment:

 I'm adding some flags to track microdesc addition and deletion from the
 nodelist, and also from the microdesc_map.  There are two options for how
 microdesc_free() should handle these flags:  It can either assert that
 everything freed has been removed, or it can remove stuff for us itself,
 and log that there was a bug.

 I'm going with the second approach for now to try to make 0.2.3.x be less
 crashy.  If these warnings show up, though, we will want to track them
 down.

 Please review branch bug3153 in my public repository.
