[metrics-team] No "hidden-service-dir" information in ServerDescriptor

Hello,

This is a question to the metrics-lib team:
Is there a reason why there is no "hidden-service-dir" information in 
ServerDescriptor? The dir-spec 
(https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt) does not 
list it as obsolete, so it seams that this field containts relevant 
information.
Although it is of course possible to parse the raw data and extract the 
information, this is (as the api indicates) an expensive operation: I 
would need to ask gor the raw descriptor bytes which copies the relevant 
data into a new array...

Regards, Kathi
