Stop relays calling directory_fetches_from_authorities on dir downloads
This change refactors find_dl_schedule() to only call dependent functions as needed. In particular, directory_fetches_from_authorities() only needs to be called on clients. Stopping spurious directory_fetches_from_authorities() calls on every download on public relays has the following impacts: * fewer address resolution attempts, particularly those mentioned in 21789 * fewer descriptor rebuilds * fewer log messages, particularly those limited in 20610 Fixes 23470 in 0.2.8.1-alpha. The original bug was introduced in commit 35bbf2e as part of prop210.
