Proposal: Simplify Configuration of Private Tor Networks

Hi all,

as you know... [and here starts the outline of the attached proposal:]

"Configuring a private Tor network has become a time-consuming and
error-prone task with the introduction of the v3 directory protocol. In
addition to that, operators of private Tor networks need to set an
increasing number of non-trivial configuration options, and it is hard
to keep FAQ entries describing this task up-to-date. In this proposal we
(1) suggest to (optionally) accelerate timing of the v3 directory voting
process and (2) introduce an umbrella config option specifically aimed
at creating private Tor networks."

There is also a patch attached including the changes required for this
proposal.

Comments are highly appreciated! :)
