Comment:

 Hmm, maybe we can't make this change after all. With the currently planned
 `flag=exit,guard` parameter, we'd return relays that have ''both'' flags
 ('''AND'''). But if we also add a parameter like
 `lookup=fingerprint1,fingerprint2`, we'd return relays with ''either'' of
 the two fingerprints ('''OR'''). This might be too confusing, especially
 if we add more parameters that treat comma-separated values as '''OR''',
 not '''AND'''. Maybe we'll have to fall back to #23913 with two parameters
 `flag=exit` and `flag=guard` to support searches for relays having all
 required flags ('''AND'''). Moving out of review for now.
