commit ed1ee2001f78549454b6196b932ae9bb4d0fdcba
Author: teor <teor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    dirvote: Update the comments for required protocols
    
    Add doxygen comments to the new recommended and required subprotocol
    version strings.
    
    Add a warning to the required protocol documentation, because requiring
    the wrong protocols can break the tor network. Also reference
    proposal 303: When and how to remove support for protocol versions.
    
    Part of 33285.
