Change header ordering from a MUST to SHOULD clause
We had this as a 'MUST' because the directory authorities need to agree upon an ordering in their votes to derive at a signed consensus. However, this requirement is turning out to be very error prone... https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21059 Got the ordering issues sorted out... I think. However, this has bitten us three times in a row and clearly will bite us more in the future so loosening these requirements a little.
