Comment (by teor):

 This change might slow down sbws, because it adds an extra step for each
 exit connection.
 Maybe we should just let tor exits do DNS resolution?

 If we do get a lot of failures, we will need to make sure that the failure
 reason is EXITPOLICY. Otherwise this change won't work.

 It might be easier and more reliable to implement #28463, or just use
 failed exits as entries if their failure rate is too high.
