New description:

 The basic-min network is still a bit unstable, but only for 0.3.5. (And
 it's much more unrealiable on macOS than Linux.)

 It seems like 0.3.5 needs around 60 seconds to bootstrap and sync
 descriptors. Later versions have microdescriptor download fixes, and they
 can bootstrap and verify in 20 seconds on basic-min.

 So let's make the minimum wait time 70 seconds (3 consensuses), if any
 nodes in the network are running 0.3.5 (or earlier).
