Comment(by ln5):

 When should a client prefer the IPv6 or port of a (non bridge) entry
 node?

 For bridges, the IPv6 OR port is preferred if the last bridge
 descriptor seen (by rewrite_node_address_for_bridge()) has an IPv6
 address.

 Let's try this: Prefer IPv6 if there is an IPv6 OR port but make sure
 we fall back to its IPv4 port if we fail connecting. I wonder how hard
 it will be to implement the fall back thing. Lat time I looked (late
 2011) it didn't seem too tempting.
