Good catch; this should go into the TODO. Here's what I think the
behavior should be:
1) On startup, the server checks whether the config matches the
serverdesc. If not, it complains heavily.
2) There should be an option to generate a new serverdesc with
new configuration options and the same key.
3) I should document the command-line that blows away
your generated keysets and server descriptors without nuking
your identity key.
