Comment:

 Since you implemented {{{getinfo consensus/valid-after}}} (great!) could
 you, while you're still somewhat at it, I hope, please also implement
 {{{getinfo consensus/fresh-until}}} and {{{getinfo consensus/valid-
 until}}} for completeness sake?

 This is useful data.

 Tails' tordate parses the consensus file:
 https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/repository/revisions/1fe898d6c68a0cb5bede96bb1b13efdd099a1b3b/entry/config
 /chroot_local-includes/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/20-time.sh#L129

 So does Whonix's anondate:
 https://github.com/Whonix/anon-shared-helper-scripts/blob/master/usr/lib
 /anon-shared-helper-scripts/anondate

 But parsing that file is ugly. ControlPort command would be better.
