This reverts commit bf2a399fc0.
Don't set by default the prefer IPv6 feature on client ports because it breaks
the torsocks use case. The SOCKS resolve command is lacking a mechanism to ask
for a specific address family (v4 or v6) thus prioritizing IPv6 when an IPv4
address is asked on the resolve SOCKS interface resulting in a failure.
Tor Browser explicitly set PreferIPv6 so this should not affect the majority
of our users.

AssumeReachable should only be about whether a relay thinks that it
is reachable itself. But previously, we've had it also turn off
reachability checking of _other_ relays on authorities.
(Technically, reachability tests were still run, but we would ignore
the results.)
With this patch, there is a new AuthDirTestReachability option
(default 1) that controls whether authorities run reachability
tests.
Making this change allows us to have test networks where authorities
set AssumeReachable without disabling their reachability testing
entirely.
Closes ticket #34445.
This change broke torsocks that by default is expecting an IPv4 for hostname
resolution because it can't ask tor for a specific IP version with the SOCKS5
extension.
PreferIPv6 made it that sometimes the IPv6 could be returned to torsocks that
was expecting an IPv4.
Torsocks is probably a very unique case because the runtime flow is that it
hijacks DNS resolution (ex: getaddrinfo()), gets an IP and then sends it back
for the connect() to happen.
The libc has DNS resolution functions that allows the caller to request a
specific INET family but torsocks can't tell tor to resolve the hostname only
to an IPv4 or IPv6 and thus by default fallsback to IPv4.
Reverting this change into 0.4.3.x series but we'll keep it in the 0.4.4.x
series in the hope that we add this SOCKS5 extension to tor for DNS resolution
and then change torsocks to use that.

Between 042 and 043, the dirauth options were modularized so this merge commit
address this by moving the AuthDirRejectUncompressedRequests to the module
along with a series of accessors.

This controls the previous feature added that makes dirauth send back a 503
error code on non relay connections if under bandwidth pressure.
