Revise proposal 185 to make DirCache flag unconditional
Based on review by Karsten, who says:
"""I'm not sure why a) relays with a working DirPort shouldn't
include "dir-cache 1" in their router descriptor and b)
authorities shouldn't assign the "DirCache" flag to relays with a
working DirPort that don't have a "dir-cache 1" line in their
router descriptor. I understand that neither of the two actions
are necessary to make the proposal work. But this could be a
chance to get rid of the DirPort concept entirely and only rely
on "dir-cache 1" and "DirCache" flags in the future."""
