Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:10 nickm]:
 > Calling this merge-ready, but for 0.3.0. I predict that there will be at
 least one impressively weird implication of removing the server_mode()
 check in we_use_microdescriptors_for_circuits().

 Here's another weird impact:
 FetchUselessDescriptors 1 used to imply UseMicrodescriptors 0, but it
 doesn't any more.
 Therefore, bandwidth authorities (and other clients expecting a full
 consensus) have to explictly set `UseMicrodescriptors 0`. See #20621.
