--------------------+------------------------------------
 In #17501, stem becomes confused because some text files written on
 Windows use CRLF, and others use LF.

 We could use CRLF for all text files written on Windows, and accept either
 CRLF or LF on all platforms.

 Here is a list of files from DataDirectory with their line endings on
 Windows:
 {{{
 CRLF cached-certs
 CRLF cached-consensus
 LF   cached-descriptors
 LF   cached-descriptors.new
 CRLF cached-microdesc-consensus
 LF   cached-microdescs
 LF   cached-microdescs.new
 CRLF state
 }}}

 We might want to review all files written by tor, including those only
 written by hidden services and any other components.
