-----------------------------+--------------------------------
 After #17840, clients that don't use bridges will select ORPorts using
 ClientPreferIPv6ORPort.

 We could do this for bridges as well, by modifying the new function
 fascist_firewall_choose_address_base:
 * use ClientPreferIPv6ORPort to choose a preferred address for bridge
 clients,
 * but ignore the "preferred address only setting", so that bridge users
 always get an address if there is one available.

 I don't want to do this as part of #17840, because I'm not sure if it's
 really necessary - bridges just seem to work ok as-is.
