We should specify what is means for a Tor version to be obsolete

Atlas hit legacy/trac#24256 (moved) because our logic for what Tor versions are obsolete is opaque.

We should try to write it down somewhere better than the tor_version_is_obsolete() function. Maybe version-spec.txt is a good location?

Considering this comment, I think we can deduce a date no?

I think this was in legacy/trac#24023 (moved) though. I'll fix it.

• Double white space at the end of the commit.

Merging and fixing that too.

Thanks!
