When we do specify it, let's also try to be clear on which annotations are
allowed to be sent across the network. Like, if you try to fetch a
descriptor from a directory mirror, and it gives you "@apple red" at the
top of the descriptor it returns, do you (Tor) dutifully store that to
your cached-descriptors file even if you don't know what it means
(hopefully no)? Or do you silently discard the annotation because hey,
annotations are allowed, but we didn't expect one there (plausible plan)?
Or we discard the whole descriptor because somebody tried to include an
annotation when they shouldn't have (maybe, if we want to be strict)?
