This improves client anonymity and avoids directory header tampering.
The extra load on the authorities should be offset by the fallback
directories feature.
This also simplifies the fixes to #18809.
After #17840 in 0.2.8.1-alpha, we incorrectly chose an IPv4
address for all DIRIND_ONEHOP directory connections,
even if the routerstatus didn't have an IPv4 address.
This likely affected bridge clients with IPv6 bridges.
Resolves#18921.
This changes simply renames them by removing "Testing" in front of them and
they do not require TestingTorNetwork to be enabled anymore.
Fixes#18481

They incorrectly summarized what the function was planning to do,
leading to wrong behavior like making an http request to an orport,
or making a begindir request to a dirport.
This change backs out some of the changes made in commit e72cbf7a, and
most of the changes made in commit ba6509e9.
This patch resolves bug 18625. There more changes I want to make
after this one, for code clarity.
Commit e72cbf7a4 introduced a change to directory_initiate_command_rend()
that made tor use the ORPort when making a directory request to the DirPort.
The primary consequence was that a relay couldn't selftest its DirPort thus
failing to work and join the network properly.
The main issue was we were always considering an anonymized connection to be
an OR connection which is not true.
Fixes#18623

Make it clearer that they are about outgoing connection attempts.
Specify the options involved where they were missing from one log
message.
Clarify a comment.
Downgrade logs and backtraces about IP versions to
info-level. Only log backtraces once each time tor runs.
Assists in diagnosing bug 18351; bugfix on c3cc8e16e in
tor-0.2.8.1-alpha.

commit edeba3d4 removed a switch, but left the "break" lines in
from that switch. fortunately the resulting behavior was not wrong,
since there was an outer switch that it was ok to break from.
no actual changes here -- but the new indenting makes it clear
that the fixes in #18332 were not as good as they should have been.
the next commit will deal with that.
When we made HidServDirectoryV2 always 1, we removed the situation
where a relay could choose not to be an HSDir. Now simplify the
rest of the code to reflect this decision.
(We have to remove two apparently unrelated free() calls in the unit
tests, since they used to free stuff that we created as a side effect
of calling router_get_my_routerinfo(), and now we no longer call that.)
We already write out bootstrapping progress (see bug 9927) per new
microdesc batch. There's no need to do a full "I learned some more
directory information, but not enough to..." line each time too.
Now, when a user who has set EntryNodes finishes bootstrapping, Tor
automatically repopulates the guard set based on this new directory
information. Fixes bug 16825; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
Bridge clients ignore ClientUseIPv6, acting as if it is always 1.
This preserves existing behaviour.
Make ClientPreferIPv6OR/DirPort auto by default:
* Bridge clients prefer IPv6 by default.
* Other clients prefer IPv4 by default.
This preserves existing behaviour.
ClientUseIPv4 0 tells tor to avoid IPv4 client connections.
ClientPreferIPv6DirPort 1 tells tor to prefer IPv6 directory connections.
Refactor policy for IPv4/IPv6 preferences.
Fix a bug where node->ipv6_preferred could become stale if
ClientPreferIPv6ORPort was changed after the consensus was loaded.
Update documentation, existing code, add unit tests.
When a relay does not have an open directory port but it has an
orport configured and is accepting client connections then it can
now service tunnelled directory requests, too. This was already true
of relays with an dirport configured.
We also conditionally stop advertising this functionality if the
relay is nearing its bandwidth usage limit - same as how dirport
advertisement is determined.
