Comment:

 I'm wondering if we test various kinds of partial descriptor parsing for
 microdescs and extrainfo.

 Particularly handle_response_fetch_microdesc() and
 router_load_extrainfo_from_string().

 Have these functions been exposed to partial downloads and various kinds
 of fragmented descriptors before?

 If not, we should test them for that first. If so, then this is fine by
 me.
