Set 'routerlist' global to NULL before freeing it.

There is other code that uses this value, and some of it is
apparently reachable from inside router_dir_info_changed(), which
routerlist_free() apparently calls.  (ouch!)  This is a minimal fix
to try to resolve the issue without causing other problems.

Fixes bug 31003. I'm calling this a bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha, where
the call to router_dir_info_changed() was added to routerlist_free().
