Revise 162's idea of how detached signatures work with flavors
The original proposal was vague and would have made older Tors reject detached-signature documents as soon as they saw one with flavors.

3. Document format: detached signatures.
- In addition to the current detached signature format, we allow
- the first line to take the form,
- "consensus-digest" SP flavor SP 1*(Algname "=" Digest) NL
+ We amend the detached signature format to include more than one
+ consensus-digest line, and more than one set of signatures.
+
+ After the consensus-digest line, we allow more lines of the form:
+ "additional-digest" SP flavor SP algname SP digest NL
+
+ Before the directory-signature lines, we allow more entries of the form:
+ "additional-signature" SP flavor SP algname SP identity SP
+ signing-key-digest NL signature.
+
+ [We do not use "consensus-digest" or "directory-signature" for flavored
+ consensuses, since this could confuse older Tors.]
The consensus-signatures URL should contain the signatures
for _all_ flavors of consensus.
