I don't think this is ideal because it would be inconsistent with the
style of the OR and Dir addresses fields.
Regarding the implementation of this feature, the Onionoo documentation on
the `exit_addresses` field states it is an
>[a]rray of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses that the relay used to exit to the
Internet in the past 24 hours. IPv6 hex characters are all lower-case.
Only those addresses are listed that are different from onion-routing
addresses. Omitted if array is empty.
This means exit relays that use the same address(es) for both OR and
exiting have no `exit_addresses` field. Showing the field as empty (or
`none` as is common for empty fields in Atlas) is confusing IMO. I plan to
solve this confusion by merging the `or_addresses` and `exit_addresses`
field and using the result for displaying the exit addresses.
