Ok, so for relay search we have the descriptors and the consensus but
not the votes.

We can implement ReachableIPv6 and UnreachableIPv6. I don't think that
we can implement NoIPv6Consensus though, and in some cases
NoIPv6Consensus would show on Relay Search as UnreachableIPv6. As this
is an edge case, does this sound OK?

If so, I'll move ahead with #24388 and rename IPv6 ORPort to
ReachableIPv6 to bring it into convergence.

Thanks,
Iain.
