prop224: Clear list of prev hsdirs before we upload all descs.

This fixes a serious bug in our hsdir set change logic:

We used to add nodes in the list of previous hsdirs everytime we
uploaded to a new hsdir and we only cleared the list when we built a new
descriptor. This means that our prev_hsdirs list could end up with 7
hsdirs, if for some reason we ended up uploading our desc to 7 hsdirs
before rebuilding our descriptor (e.g. this can happen if the set of
hsdirs changed).

After our previous hdsir set had 7 nodes, then our old algorithm would
always think that the set has changed since it was comparing a smartlist
with 7 elements against a smartlist with 6 elements.

This commit fixes this bug, by clearning the prev_hsdirs list before we
upload to all hsdirs. This makes sure that our prev_hsdirs list always
contains the latest hsdirs!
