    Authorities reject relays running unsupported Tor release series.
    
    Our minimum version is now 0.2.9.5-alpha.  Series 0.3.0, 0.3.1,
    0.3.2, 0.3.3, and 0.3.4 are now rejected.
    
    Also, extract this version-checking code into a new function, so we
    can test it.
    
    Closes ticket 31549.
    
    Also reject 0.3.5.0 through 0.3.5.6-rc as unstable.
