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.
Delete an unnecessary check for non-preferred IP versions.
Allows clients which can't reach any directories of their
preferred IP address version to get directory documents.
Patch on #17840 in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
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.
The problem is that "q" is always set on the first iteration even
if the question is not a supported question. This set of "q" is
not necessary, and will be handled after exiting the loop if there
if a supported q->type was found.

quadwords is allowed, which isn't true particularly on non-Intel.
Log a notice just before the script is about to perform a
potentially time-consuming operation
Clarify the warning when py2-ipaddress isn't found
Make log levels more consistent
No behavioural change (just logging)
Decide to advertise begindir support in a similar way to how
we decide to advertise DirPort.
Fix up the associated descriptor-building unit tests.
Resolves#18616, bugfix on 0c8e042c30 in #12538 in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
As well as the existing reports of IPv6 address additions or removals,
the script now warns when keys change but IPv4:ORPort or
IPv6:IPv6ORPort remain the same.
Existing checks for other whitelist detail changes have also
been re-worded and upgraded to warnings.
This makes it easier for changes to be identified so operators can
be contacted to confirm whether the change is stable.
Also add misbehaving relays to updateFallbackDirs.py blacklist,
but leave them commented out in case it's a transient issue,
or it's been resolved by the download check fixes. (These
relays hang stem's downloader. It's unlikely they'll ever help
clients.)
