[tor-relays] Can't compile 0.4.6.5 on Ubuntu 18.04

[William Denton <wtd@xxxxxxxxx>]

I went to upgrade a relay running on Ubuntu 18.04 to the new release (0.4.6.5) 
and to my surprise it didn't compile.  Every other version has built without any 
trouble.  Wading into the Gitlab site was rather confusing, so I thought I'd 
send this here, in the hopes it reaches the right people and someone else might 
be interested.

I ran ./configure, then make, and pretty soon this happened:

  CC       src/feature/dirclient/dirclient.o
In file included from ./src/core/or/or.h:50:0,
                 from src/feature/dirclient/dirclient.c:13:
