#1883: Include GeoIP database identifier in extra-info descriptors

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
With the recent change from ip-to-country to free Maxmind, relays can
report very different country statistics in their extra-info descriptors.
While it's possible to guess which GeoIP database was used from the
running Tor version, operators can manually override the default GeoIP
database and use their own database. Relays should include a unique
identifier of the used database, which can be the shasum of the geoip
file.
