Use directory guards even when consensus isn't live
Our initial directory guard implementation only works when we have a live consensus to find out the directory guards' IP addresses. So it's an improvement, but it's hardly a perfect solution.
We should instead remember our guards' IP addresses in our state file, and try to use our directory guards even when we don't have a consensus. This will require consideration about handling our guards being down and handling the network being down.
