Proposal 230 adds support for relays and bridges to migrate from one
identity key to another. A relay or bridge that uses this new feature
switches to a new identity key and includes information about its old
identity key in its server descriptor.
In particular, the following data will be included:
- old RSA 1024 public identity key (not SHA-1 fingerprint),
- date and time of migration, and
- signature of date and time of migration and new identity key
fingerprint, made with old identity key.
Microdescriptors will include the SHA-1 fingerprint of the old identity
key in an `old-id` field, if the signature turned out to be valid.
We need to parse the new fields in metrics-lib. We'll probably also want
to provide the SHA-1 fingerprint of the old identity key in server
descriptor objects.
