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.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/5304
This option controls if a tor relay will attempt address auto discovery and
thus ultimately publish an IPv6 ORPort in the descriptor.
Behavior is from proposal 312 section 3.2.6.

Tracing.md moved to doc/tracing/ so fix the distcheck path in include.am. Also
add the new EventsCircuit.md file.

Create a doc/tracing/ directory to contain a top level README.md which is the
previously named Tracing.md and add the EventsCircuit.md which describes the
circuit subsystem tracing events in depth.

Remove all the escape character "\" which is not needed for Markdown files.
This also fixes the tracing event include to the correct path.

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.
