 Weather links to https://metrics.torproject.org/relay-search.html to allow
 users to "search for a router".  Can we change that link to
 https://atlas.torproject.org/ ?

 The reason is that I'm planning to either move or, more likely, shut down
 the relay-search function, because it's one of the few things that require
 us to keep a full database of relays.

 The main difference between the two searches is that relay-search.html
 will find relays that haven't been running for more than a week, which
 Atlas won't find.  But that shouldn't matter much for Weather, because
 people typically want to register relays that are currently running.

 This is only an intermediate solution.  The better long-term solution is
 that Weather implements its own relay search function, maybe using
 Onionoo.  But let's do the simplest thing for now and just remove the
 dependency on metrics' relay-search.

 Thanks!
