New description:

 #13718 has revealed an issue where chutney-run tor authorities don't flag
 anything as an Exit. This was resolved in #13161 with
 TestingDirAuthVoteExit, but a more elegant solution (or a root cause)
 needs to be found in order to properly test #13718.

 Workarounds are available:
 TestingDirAuthVoteExit *
 ~~AssumeReachable 0~~ ''(not actually a workaround)''

 But they make it harder to justify that the test results apply to real-
 world tor bootstraps, or even chutney configs without special-case
 configurations.

 This issue is like #11264, and could have the same root cause (a conflict
 between the setting of the exit flag and exit policy summaries), although
 this seems unlikely.
