teor (Tim Wilson-Brown) 2d33d192fc Add ClientUseIPv4 and ClientPreferIPv6DirPort torrc options
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.

o Minor feature (IPv6):
- Add ClientUseIPv4, which is set to 1 by default. If set to 0, tor
avoids using IPv4 for client OR and directory connections.
- Add ClientPreferIPv6DirPort, which is set to 0 by default. If set
to 1, tor prefers IPv6 directory addresses.
- Try harder to fulfil IP version restrictions ClientUseIPv4 0 and
ClientUseIPv6 0; and the preferences ClientPreferIPv6ORPort and
ClientPreferIPv6DirPort.
Closes ticket 17840; patch by "teor".
