commit fb3704b45982e6a97dbad4e2d6e9cf7ba8fd1151
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm at torproject.org>

New consensus method to find bwweightscale & maxunmeasuredbw correctly.
Our original code for parsing these parameters out of our list of
parameters pre-dated us having the
dirvote_get_intermediate_param_value() function... and it was buggy.
Specifically, it would reject any " ... K=V ..." value
where there were additional unconverted characters after the V, and
use the default value instead,
We haven't run into this yet because we've never voted for
bwweightscale to be anything besides the default 10000, or
maxunmeasuredbw to be anything besides the default 20.
This requires a new consensus method because it is a change in how
consensuses are computed.
Fixes bug 19011; bugfix on 0.2.2.10-alpha.

+ o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities, voting):
+ - Add a new consensus method (31) to support any future changes that
+ authorities decide to make to the value of bwweightscale or
+ maxunmeasuredbw. Previously, there was a bug that prevented the
+ authorities from parsing these consensus parameters correctly under
+ most circumstances.
+ Fixes bug 19011; bugfix on 0.2.2.10-alpha.
