Subject: Segfault less during consensus generation without params
Commit: cae769d646e721efff3c286a2c46769680dc01f5

If no authority votes on any params, Tor authorities segfault when
trying to make a new consensus from the votes. Let's change that.

+  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - When none of the authorities vote on any params, Tor segfaults when
+      trying to make the consensus from the votes. This is currently
+      not critical, because authorities do include params in their votes.
+      Bugfix on 0.2.2.10-alpha, fixes bug 1322.
