Comment:

 Parenting to #24786, because this affects the fallback file format as
 well.

 Here's what we need to do here:
 * specify the unified authority and fallback formats
   * move each field to its own line
   * reorder fields so the files are as similar as possible
 * create a script that generates the authority format from the authorities
 in the current consensus
   * apply address overrides
   * make sure the details match the current list
   * check that all supported Tor versions can parse the list (existing
 unit tests)
 * update the fallback script to generate the new format, and increment the
 version
   * modify the structure of the current list, but not the content
   * check that all supported Tor versions (0.2.9 and later) can parse the
 list (existing unit tests)
