Comment (by teor):

 We want to write a list of code-chunks to disable, in rough order of ease-
 of-implementation.

 For each code chunk, we want to:
 * create stronger code boundaries
 * make those boundaries clear in code naming/layout

 We should do these steps:
 1. Move code into a directory called *_relay, *_dircache, or *_dirauth
 2. Move code between files as needed
 3. Remove upwards dependencies, and other unnecessary dependencies
 4. Refactor code, so code boundaries are clearer:
   * split functions
   * rename functions
 5. Make any other changes that improve modularity
