commit 36612b9bf8f432ccfc5fc637dd86463b84ab4882
Author: Roger Dingledine <arma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    vote AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr in consensus params
    
    Directory authorities now include their AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr
    config option in the consensus parameter section of their vote. Now
    external tools can better predict how they will behave.
    
    In particular, the value should make its way to the
    https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#consensusparams page.
    
    Once enough dir auths vote this param, they should also compute a
    consensus value for it in the consensus document. Nothing uses this
    consensus value yet, but we could imagine having dir auths consult it
    in the future.
    
    Implements ticket 40753.
