    Workaround strange file descriptor issue in Stem.
    
    For reasons I am unable as of yet to determine, if I call
    `stem.descriptor.router_status_entry._parse_file()` with its `start_position`
    parameter, giving it the byte offset in the file to start reading at, as well
    as the file descriptor itself, that Stem function does *not* reliably `seek()`
    to that byte offset in the file.
    
    The failure results of the last commit, e47247869, can be seen here:
    https://travis-ci.org/isislovecruft/bridgedb/jobs/33874252
    
    The fix -- don't ask me why it works, although I suspect either the scoping of
    Python's `with` syntax or some issue with passing file descriptors from an
    asynchronous program to a blocking one -- is to call `seek()` before passing
    the file descriptor.
