No longer advertise or negotiate any consensus method before 13.
Implements proposal 215; closes ticket 10163.
Why? From proposal 215:
Consensus method 1 is no longer viable for the Tor network. It
doesn't result in a microdescriptor consensus, and omits other
fields that clients need in order to work well. Consensus methods
under 12 have security issues, since they let a single authority
set a consensus parameter.
...
For example, while Tor 0.2.4.x is under development, authorities
should really not be running anything before Tor 0.2.3.x. Tor
0.2.3.x has supported consensus method 13 since 0.2.3.21-rc, so
it's okay for 0.2.4.x to require 13 as the minimum method. We even
might go back to method 12, since the worst outcome of not using 13
would be some warnings in client logs. Consensus method 12 was a
security improvement, so we don't want to roll back before that.
