Serve DirPortFrontPage even if the write bucket is low.

arma's rationale: "I think this is a bug, since people intentionally
set DirPortFrontPage, so they really do want their relay to serve that
page when it's asked for. Having it appear only sometimes (or roughly
never in Sebastian's case) makes it way less useful."

Fixes bug 1013; bugfix on 0.2.1.8-alpha.
