This is easier nowadays than in the past because `BEGIN_DIR` makes it so that directory servers don't need to have a separate DirPort open. (However, maybe relays get the `V2Dir` flag only if they have a DirPort open?)
Also, since all relays have all the directory documents anyway, it doesn't further bloat their disk to become directory servers.Tor: 0.2.8.x-final
