 {{{
 /** Return true if we believe ourselves to be any kind of
  * authoritative directory beyond just a hidserv authority. */
 int
 authdir_mode_any_nonhidserv(const or_options_t *options)
 }}}

 This phrase "hidserv authority" is from back in the days of v1 directory
 authorities, where there were 3 central authorities that collected and
 served all the hidden service descriptors.

 Those days are gone, so references to a hidserv authority no longer make
 sense.

 In particular, I think there are now only two types of directory
 authorities -- bridge authorities and main authorities. So this function
 could be replaced with just authdir_mode(). I'm marking it as 'easy' since
 it's a good one for a newbie to grab.
