Parse microdescriptors

We presently lack the ability to parse tor microdescriptors. This is not needed to reach feature parity with metrics-lib (Karsten said on #7987 (moved) that they aren't relevant to metrics), but it would still be a nice capability to have.

Oops, I think that I was confused about this. We do support microdescriptor consensuses - for some reason I thought there was another microdescriptor documents we were missing. From a look over the dir-spec guess I was wrong - resolving.

Grrr, I was wrong about being wrong. We parse microdescriptor flavored network status documents but not the microdescriptors themselves. Reopening and merging with #8320 (closed). This has just supplanted tutorials at the top of my todo list since server descriptors are no longer fetched by default.

Also filed #8323 (moved) since the controller interface is lacking a method of fetching all microdescriptors (I'll likely need to hack around this by reading 'em from disk).

We still need to add support to the controller. I'll tackle that next, but we now have parsing support so resolving this ticket.
