Comment(by andrea):
Begin code review:
How will we pick the fallback servers/how long is the list expected to be?
In 5c51b3f1f0d4c394392aa6fce89bbe0960117771, for example, you're
introducing router_get_fallback_dirserver_by_digest() that searches a
smartlist, which was fine for the short list of trusted authorities, but
in comments further up on this ticket I'm seeing numbers like 500 servers
being bandied about, which makes me a bit nervous about linear-time
searches. Is this going to be so infrequent an operation it isn't worth
worrying about, though?
