Comment:

 Food for thoughts. So I like this move in general. Although, I think we
 could do better. Those parsing functions are for the HS descriptor so how
 about we create a `renddesc.{c|h}` file and move parsing + encoding
 functions there (and maybe all related functions to descriptor)?

 I fear that rendparse.c (name) doesn't have the extra indication that this
 is for descriptor. We are not parsing HS cells in there for instance.

 (This is the approach we took for next generation hidden service that is
 have `hs_descriptor.{c|h}` for all descriptor related API/ABI.)
