#3263: only publish new descriptor if onion key has changed

 Priority:  normal     |      Milestone:  Tor: 0.2.3.x-final
Component:  Tor Relay  |        Version:

-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 We call set_onion_key() whenever we call init_keys(). set_onion_key()
 calls mark_my_descriptor_dirty() which triggers a new descriptor publish.

 The problem is that we call init_keys() in some cases where our new
 descriptor won't be any different (for example, when our SafeLogging
 config option has changed).

 The fix is to only republish a descriptor when the onion key actually
 changes.
