Comment:

 I've made the changes we discussed and created a new commit
 https://github.com/eoinof/stem/commit/5668385ffd024f9cc2aa910a4ed4d02edc2375fe

 Some things to note:
 Since the RelayDescriptor now raises an exception with invalid data there
 is
 some fragile code that may hang. I saw this in some of the threaded calls.
 I'll file a separate ticket about it. It will only occur if the data
 in descriptor_archive.tar.bz2 were invalid..

 The digest function returns a hex value, as these are better if being
 passed around.. etc.. but it is not uppercase!

 I removed some minor unit tests that no longer made sense.
