New description:

 Directory authorities, when they get a descriptor that isn't new enough
 (more than cosmetically different) right now send back a 200 response
 code.

 We should send some different code, so servers have a chance of knowing
 whether their uploaded descriptor actually "took" or was silently
 discarded.

 So, changes as I understand them:
 A) Tor servers should accept 200-299 as successes, not just 200.

 B) What success code, within the range 201-299, most closely resembles
 "I accepted it but it wasn't new enough so I didn't use it"? Is there
 any precedent to follow here?

 C) Once step A is done, authorities can start sending back other codes.

 D) Is there any way to speed up reaching step C?

 E) Should we also change 400 to a range 400-499?
