Comment(by nickm):

 Weirdly, I don't hate this.  It's a hack, but I think it's isolated enough
 that it should work okay when multiple addresses become the rule of the
 day.

 Meditating on multiple addresses here, so I don't lose my train of
 thought: when we have multiple addresses, we'll need to attach them all
 their routers and maybe keep track of which are "preferred" or "okay to
 use".  When we do that, rewrite_routerinfo_address_... will want to add
 the new address if it isn't there, and make it "preferred" and all others
 "not okay".  That seems reasonable and not too hard to do.
