 The tor control-spec says that 551 should be returned for "dir/status"
 queries where microdescs are in use, and so full descriptors are
 unavailable.
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/control-spec.txt#n737

 This doesn't happen for dir/status-vote/current/consensus when tor only
 has a microdesc consensus, instead, tor returns "552 Unrecognized key "dir
 /status-vote/current/consensus".
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/or/control.c#n2004

 The 552 is misleading and not to spec, instead, we should return 551 with
 a helpful error message.
