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

+The following contains portions of the dir-spec that were not implemented in
+tor. They're still fine ideas, but do not belong in the specs before they...
+well, exist.
+
+Dirport Methods, Section 4.5 (https://trac.torproject.org/9271)
+
+ All the microdescriptors from the current consensus should also be
+ available at:
+ http://<hostname>/tor/micro/all[.z]
+ so a client that's bootstrapping doesn't need to send a 70KB URL just
+ to name every microdescriptor it's looking for.
+ [Note that /tor/micro/all[.z] is not implemented as of February 21,
+ 2012. -KL]
