#2178: We launch dummy descriptor fetches more often than needed

Component: Tor Relay | Version: Tor: 0.2.1.26

Right now, we have code in update_router_descriptor_downloads() to launch
a fetch for authority.z if we want to learn our IP from a directory fetch.
We do this if:
* We're a server
* We don't have the Address option set
* At least 20 minutes have passed since we last launched a router
descriptor download
* At least 20 minutes have passed since we last launched a
Per discussion in bug #652, we could be even more quiet about launching
these fetches. We could also require that
* At least 20 minutes have passed since we last launched *any*
appropriate directory op.
* At least 20 minutes have passed since we got a new incoming
connection on what we think our IP is.
* At least 20 minutes have passed since we got confirmation of our
current IP in a NETINFO cell
We could also make the "20 minutes" value configurable by a networkstatus
parameter.
This is a minor issue, since the current behavior is inelegant, but not
actually hurting anything.
