    Removing '/tor/micro/all' from the dir-spec
    
    The dir-spec describes a dirport method for retrieving all microdescriptors.
    While this is a fine idea it was never implemented. Moving the spec portion
    that describes this to the attic for now.

    Directory mirrors should check to make sure that the microdescriptors
    they're about to serve match the right hashes (either the hashes from
    the fetch URL or the hashes from the consensus, respectively).
