`router_have_minimum_dir_info` to take a parameter `dir_info_purpose`
indicating what the dir info would be used for. (Or, perhaps, a set of
flags for guard/middle/exit. Have to look into this.)

In particular, I worry about the case where the guard knows what info the
client has gotten, and sees the client start building circuits so it knows
more about the purpose of these circuits.
So there's still value imo in waiting for circuit-building until we have
all the network info that we need for a variety of actions. The bug here
is that we have the wrong definition of "all the network info that we
need" when the network has no exits. So we should be fixing that
definition.
