 Hi network team. Moria1's present vote places its "bandwidth-file-headers"
 in the wrong location.

 Tor's dir-spec says: "**Status documents contain a preamble, an authority
 section, a list of router status entries, and one or more footer
 signature, in that order.**"

 The trouble is that our bandwidth-file-headers field is specified as being
 part of the preamble, whereas moria1 places it **after** its authority
 section. Header fields appear in the following order...

 * flag-thresholds (preamble)
 * params (preamble)
 * dir-source (authority section)
 * contact (authority section)
 * shared-rand-participate (authority section)
 * shared-rand-commit (authority section, multiple)
 * shared-rand-previous-value (authority section)
 * shared-rand-current-value (authority section)
 * **bandwidth-file-headers (preamble)**
 * dir-key-certificate-version (key certificate)
 * ... etc...

 As a result Stem does not parse this field: #30282
