o Major features:
- Add a new FallbackDir option to use when we can't use a directory
from the consensus (either because we lack a consensus, or because
they're all down). Currently, all authorities are fallbacks by
default, and there are no other default fallbacks, but that will
change. This option will allow us to give clients a longer list
of servers to try to get a consensus from when first connecting
to the Tor network, and thereby reduce load on the directory
authorities.
o Removed features:
- Drop the old FallbackNetworkstatus option: we never got it working
well enough to use it.

o Renamed options:
- The DirServer option is now DirAuthority, for consistency with current
naming patterns. You can still use the old DirServer form.
