Get ready to stop sending timestamps in INTRODUCE cells

For now, round down to the nearest 10 minutes.  Later, eliminate entirely by
setting a consensus parameter.

(This rounding is safe because, in 0.2.2, where the timestamp mattered,
REND_REPLAY_TIME_INTERVAL was a nice generous 60 minutes.)

network or behind NAT. Implements part of proposal 222.
- Clients now round timestamps in INTRODUCE2 cells to the nearest
10 minutes. If a new Support022HiddenServices option is set to 0,
or if it's set to "auto" and the feature is disabled in the consensus,
the timestamp is sent as 0 instead.

**Support022HiddenServices** **0**|**1**|**auto**::
Tor hidden services running versions before 0.2.3.x required clients to
send timestamps, which can potentially be used to distinguish clients
whose view of the current time is skewed. If this option is set to 0, we
do not send this timestamp, and hidden services on obsolete Tor versions
will not work. If this option is set to 1, we send the timestamp. If
this optoin is "auto", we take a recommendation from the latest consensus
document. (Default: auto)
