Log Message:
Big commit: clients start downloading and using network-statuses.

Only caches need to get running-routers; nobody needs to parse, store,
or use it.  Same for the router-status line in the directories.  Add
many #if 0's that can get removed once I'm convinced they don't
contain anything I'm forgetting.

Start all newly-parsed routers as non-running and non-valid; update
them from the list of network statuses.

Update all routers when a new networkstatus comes in.

After 3 tries for a networkstatus, clients give up until they're told
to try again.
