commit bdff7e3299d78cd2f7aa4a31e5f57c1aeef5ffa1

    Unmap microdesc cache before replacing it.
    
    If we do a replace-then-munmap, windows will never actually rewrite
    the microdesc cache.
    
    Found by wanoskarnet; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.

+      holding it open.  That's fine on Unix, but Windows doesn't let us
+      do that.)  Bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha; bug found by wanoskarnet.
