 Tor long ago had a "getinfo network-status" where it would cobble together
 a v1 "running-routers" style directory status for the controller. It's
 been deprecated in control-spec since 2007, and in 0.3.1.1-alpha (#21703)
 we made Tor issue a warning log message when you use it.

 It has some weird side effects when you ask a directory authority for
 getinfo network-status, since it makes the dir auth recompute whether it
 thinks relays are running.

 Do any controllers still use it? I cc a developer from arm, txtorcon, and
 tor launcher, and if they all say "no, what is that", I say we take it out
 in Tor 0.3.2.
