    Revise proposal 185 to make DirCache flag unconditional
    
    Based on review by Karsten, who says:
    
    """I'm not sure why a) relays with a working DirPort shouldn't
       include "dir-cache 1" in their router descriptor and b)
       authorities shouldn't assign the "DirCache" flag to relays with a
       working DirPort that don't have a "dir-cache 1" line in their
       router descriptor.  I understand that neither of the two actions
       are necessary to make the proposal work.  But this could be a
       chance to get rid of the DirPort concept entirely and only rely
       on "dir-cache 1" and "DirCache" flags in the future."""
