Comment (by arma):

 Right, this is quite clearly a bug.

 I just looked through the rest of the code and I don't think there are any
 other instances of it -- though we should probably document in or.h when
 we say DL_SCHED_CONSENSUS that we include cert fetches.

 Seems to me that the fix is to either initialize consensus_dl_status with
 {{{
 static download_status_t consensus_dl_status[N_CONSENSUS_FLAVORS] =
   { {0,0,DL_SCHED_CONSENSUS}, {0,0,DL_SCHED_CONSENSUS} };
 }}}
 which will silently become wrong again when we increment
 N_CONSENSUS_FLAVORS and forget to fix it, or have an initialization
 function that walks the array to initialize it. The latter seems wiser?
