 We should extend Tor to no longer assume that a relay or bridge has
 exactly one address.  This probably means implementing proposal 186, but
 maybe it means more than that.  We should make sure that all places in Tor
 use a list of addresses per relay or bridge.  This gets tricky when we
 want to connect to a relay or bridge; do we try all addresses at once? or
 just one? or do we fall back to the next if the first fails?

 The code changes are part of the March 31, 2012 deliverable for sponsor G.
 Merging code into master is sufficient here, no (alpha) releases or
 bundles involved.
