-----------------------------------------+-----------------
 When Metrics' hidserv module was written in March 2015, metrics-lib did
 not support hidserv-* lines in extra-info descriptors, so it had to
 implement its own parsing code and parse extra-info descriptors a second
 time.

 This has changed in December 2015 with metrics-lib 1.1.0 adding "support
 for hidden-service statistics in extra-info descriptors".

 It's time to replace that custom parsing code in Metrics' hidserv module
 and use the methods provided by metrics-lib.
