 > 4. Add a new consensus method to canonicalize family lists by adding
 each node's own identity and sorting the entries.

 Looking at the available microdescs, we should also:
 * uppercase the hex ids

 It's also worth noting;:
 * chutney doesn't set MyFamily, so we'll need to test carefully
 * this change likely causes:
   * a slight increase in the size of descriptors on disk (from the extra
 ids), offset by removing =nick and malformed hex id, and
   * a slight decrease of compressed descriptor size, because the sorted
 lines are identical
