Comment (by nickm):

 Reviewing from scratch, with dgoulet:

 Less important, but should get fixed:
  * I think the log_info(LD_BUG) should be a log_warn ?  Otherwise, we'll
 never see it.
  * Isn't there a define for the length of the output of tor_addr_to_str?
 Also, doesn't it always nul-terminate?
  * `#endif //TOR_UNIT_TESTING` should refer to TOR_UNIT_TESTS instead.
  * If we use a switch in networkstatus_set_current_consensus_from_ns() ,
 then we'll get a warning if we forget to add more cases in the future.
  * current_ns_consensus = NULL and current_md_consensus=NULL are both
 redundant.
  * Why return -2 instead of -1 ?

 More important:
  * We need to look at something like decide_to_advertise_dirport() [maybe
 a modified version of it] when deciding whether to set tunneled-dir-
 server.  The bandwidthrate stuff is particularly important.
  * The directory_fetches_from_authorities() function should also return 0
 if we decided not to set dir_port or tunneled-dir-requests.  Otherwise
 low-bandwidth ORs will hit the authorities rather than the caches, which
 is not what we want.
