dir auths now omit Measured= if rs->is_authority
Directory authorities stop voting a consensus "Measured" weight for relays with the Authority flag. Now these relays will be considered unmeasured, which should reserve their bandwidth for their dir auth role and minimize distractions from other roles. In place of the "Measured" weight, they now include a "MeasuredButAuthority" weight (not used by anything) so the bandwidth authority's opinion on this relay can be recorded for posterity. Resolves ticket 40698.

+ o Minor bugfixes (dirauth):
+ - Directory authorities stop voting a consensus "Measured" weight
+ for relays with the Authority flag. Now these relays will be
+ considered unmeasured, which should reserve their bandwidth
+ for their dir auth role and minimize distractions from other
+ roles. In place of the "Measured" weight, they now include a
+ "MeasuredButAuthority" weight (not used by anything) so the
+ bandwidth authority's opinion on this relay can be recorded for
+ posterity. Lastly, remove the AuthDirDontVoteOnDirAuthBandwidth
+ torrc option which never worked right. Fixes bugs 40698 and 40700;
+ bugfix on 0.4.7.2-alpha.
