Avoid selecting fallbacks that change their IP addresses too often.
Select more fallbacks by ignoring the Guard flag, and allowing lower
cutoffs for the Running and V2Dir flags. Also allow a lower bandwidth,
and a higher number of fallbacks per operator (5% of the list).
Implements ticket 24785.
This removes some redundant repeated lines.
Ticket 24681 will maintain the current fallback weights by changing
Tor's default fallback weight to 10.
Implements ticket 24679.
Increase the fallback stability requirement to 30 days.
When this was at 7 days, we chose far too many unstable fallbacks.
Decrease the guard flag requirement to 0.8.
When this was at 0.9, we lost too many fallbacks due to version upgrades.
(The running and v2dir flags ensure DirPorts are available to clients.)
Partial fixes to #20913.
Sometimes, the fallback generation script doesn't add attributes to the
fallbacks in the list. If this happens, log an error, and avoid selecting
that fallback.
This is a rare issue: it should not change selection behaviour.
Fixes issue #20945.
Exclude relays that have been down for 1 or more days from the fallback
candidate list.
When a relay operator has multiple relays, this prioritises relays that are
up over relays that are down.
Fixes issue #20926.
7 days is a tradeoff between the expected time between major Tor releases,
which is 6 months, and the number of relays with enough stability.
Relays whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on restart by bug #18050
should upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has a fix for this issue.
Closes ticket #20880; maintains short-term fix in e220214 in tor-0.2.8.2-alpha.
If we manually remove fallbacks in C by adding '/*' and '*/' on separate
lines, stem still parses them as being present, because it only looks at
the start of a line.

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)
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.
Use IP address, effective family, and contact info to
discover and limit fallbacks to one per operator.
Also analyse netblock, ports, IP version, and Exit flag,
and print the results. Don't exclude any fallbacks from
the list because of netblocks, ports, IP version, or
Exit flag.
