Wait for at least 60 seconds for 0.3.5 and earlier to bootstrap

The basic-min network is still a bit unstable, but only for 0.3.5. (And it's much more unrealiable on macOS than Linux.)

It seems like 0.3.5 needs around 60 seconds to bootstrap and sync descriptors. Later versions have microdescriptor download fixes, and they can bootstrap and verify in just over 20 seconds on basic-min.

So let's make the minimum wait time 70 seconds (3 consensuses), if any nodes in the network are running 0.3.5 (or earlier).

See my PR:

• chutney: https://github.com/torproject/chutney/pull/59

I changed chutney to:

• set a minimum bootstrap time of 65 seconds for 0.3.5 and earlier, before verifying
• wait an extra 10 seconds for microdesc downloads before verifying (see #33428 (moved))
• wait an extra 30 seconds for onion service descriptor posts before verifying (see #33609 (moved))

Once CI passes, I'll merge this CI fix to chutney master, and re-run tor's 0.3.5 chutney job. Then we can do the review some time next week.

Merged to chutney master, restarted the tor CI chutney jobs, also running locally.

Patch seems solid, but I might need to tweak the timings a little.

Fixed a few bugs, waited until CI passed, and merged to master.

I made some test branches for #32792 (moved), they also test the latest chutney master:

• https://github.com/teor2345/tor/branches/all?query=32792

One macOS job hung, monitoring that issue on #32804 (moved).

Add all the tickets from sponsor 55 that are done and being worked on to the keyword #network-team-roadmap-2020Q1 so I can look at them in the wiki page...

This ticket has been working in master for 2 weeks. It's still pending review, but that's not a high priority, so I'm just going to close it.
