commit 303b4dfdac10ecb6c348dafbb08f27cae9799347

    Adding tor directory authority information
    
    To work our remote descriptor fetching module needed the addresses and dirports
    of voting authorities. However, on reflection it's useful if we reflect the
    rest of the authority information from tor's config.c as well. For instance,
    the v3ident is handy if our users want to query authority key certificates.

+  Tor directory authority, a special type of relay `hardcoded into tor
+  <https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/f631b73:/src/or/config.c#l816>`_
+  that enumerates the other relays within the network.
+
+  At a very high level tor works as follows...
+
+  1. A volunteer starts up a new tor relay, during which it sends a `server
+     descriptor <server_descriptor.html>`_ to each of the directory
+     authorities.
+
+  2. Each hour the directory authorities make a `vote <networkstatus.html>`_
+     that says who they think the active relays are in the network and some
+     attributes about them.
+
+  3. The directory authorities send each other their votes, and compile that
+     into the `consensus <networkstatus.html>`_. This document is very similar
+     to the votes, the only difference being that the majority of the
+     authorities agree upon and sign this document. The idividual relay entries
+     in the vote or consensus is called `router status entries
+     <router_status_entry.html>`_.
+
+  4. Tor clients (people using the service) download the consensus from one of
+     the authorities or a mirror to determine the active relays within the
+     network. They in turn use this to construct their circuits and use the
+     network.
+
+  The directory information hardcoded in tor occasionally changes, and as such
+  the information this provides might not necessarily match your version of tor.
+  This is the tor directory information as of **commit 00bcc25 (8/27/13)**.
