 Track when we get 503s from directory servers.  Do not use directory servers that have given us a 503 until either an hour has passed, or we are are out of non-busy servers.

     - DirServer configuration lines now have an orport option so clients can
       open encrypted tunnels to the authorities without having downloaded
       their descriptors yet.

     - Stop sending the HttpProxyAuthenticator string to directory

         We want a field to hold "when did we last get a 503 from this
         directory server."  Probably, it should go in local_routerstatus_t,
         not in routerinfo_t, since we can try to use servers as directories
         before we have their descriptors.  Possibly, it should also go in
         trusted_dir_server_t.
+        o Add a last_dir_503_at field.
+        o Have it get updated correctly.
+        o Prefer to use directories that haven't given us a 503 for the last
+          60 minutes.
       - authorities should *never* 503 a cache, and should never 503
         network status requests. They can 503 client descriptor requests
         when they feel like it.
