Comment (by arma):

 The patch looks good to me. I bet the Tor Browser people will want it,
 likely even for TB 3.6.4 that they're building now.

 To be thorough, there are two other cases where should_delay_dir_fetches()
 returns 1 so update_router_have_minimum_dir_info() sets have_min_dir_info
 to 0:

 * options->UseBridges and !any_bridge_descriptors_known():

 * options->UseBridges and pt_proxies_configuration_pending():

 And at first glance it seems like each of these also has edge cases where
 have_min_dir_info will get set to 0 and not recomputed when these cases
 change.
