Update dir-spec with client fallback directory mirror attempt and timeout behaviour
Let's add these lines:
Clients try several fallback directory mirrors, and use the first one that connects. Each attempt happens after a short delay, regardless of the state of the previous attempt, until at least one attempt has connected.
When several fallback directory mirrors have failed, clients start trying directory authorities in a similar fashion.

I don't think we designed any explicit timeout behaviour, so we are probably using whatever was there before 0.2.8.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
