2ae24d003d Add a MinTimeToReportBandwidth option; make it 0 for testing networks.
This option changes the time for which a bandwidth measurement period
must have been in progress before we include it when reporting our
observed bandwidth in our descriptors.  Without this option, we only
consider a time period towards our maximum if it has been running
for a full day.  Obviously, that's unacceptable for testing
networks, where we'd like to get results as soon as possible.

For non-testing networks, I've put a (somewhat arbitrary) 2-hour
minimum on the option, since there are traffic analysis concerns
with immediate reporting here.

This is a new detection type which is that a relay can now control the rate of

marked for a period of time and any connection from that address is denied.

db0aaf428e Add OutboundBindAddressPT to torrc.
This patch adds a new option to torrc: `OutboundBindAddressPT`. This
option works in the same way as `OutboundBindAddressOR` and
`OutboundBindAddressExit` in that it allows the user to specify which
outbound IP address the user wants the PT to make its connections from.

There is one difference though in that OutboundBindAddressPT will only
be a suggestion for the PT to use since Tor cannot enforce whether or
not the PT actually uses this option for anything.

66d5292ee6 Revert "config: Make clients tell dual-stack exits they prefer IPv6"
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.

a7aa97298b Remove special authority semantics for AssumeReachable.
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.

client: Revert setting PreferIPv6 on by default
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.
