Comment(by nickm):

 Agreed.  Also for "ORPort/DirPort auto", I think we want the setting to be
 a little persistent.  In other words, if you wind up with your OR port as
 46371, you should try 46371 the next time you start with ORPort auto, and
 only ask for a random port when that fails.

 That said, it doesn't need to be there in the first version of this: I
 suggest that "prefer 443/80/143"  and "retry till it's reachable" can be
 their own tickets that we open once this is done.
