Removing '/tor/micro/all' from the dir-spec
The dir-spec describes a dirport method for retrieving all microdescriptors. While this is a fine idea it was never implemented. Moving the spec portion that describes this to the attic for now. https://trac.torproject.org/9271

Directory mirrors should check to make sure that the microdescriptors
they're about to serve match the right hashes (either the hashes from
the fetch URL or the hashes from the consensus, respectively).
