Comment(by mikeperry):

 We need to double check the timestamp field to ensure that it is really
 the measurement time, but otherwise this should be as simple as comparing
 the measurement timestamp to the timestamp from the current consensus.

 We may want to SETCONF both FetchDirInfoExtraEarly and FetchDirInfoEarly
 to ensure we get a consensus every hour, so that we know if the
 measurement was after it was published, and we know the most recent value.
