 We need to integrate ASNs into configurations for exit nodes. This should
 allow ln5 to set an exit policy that allows for policies based on a single
 ASN or a list of ASNs.

 A very easy way to accomplish this is to modify the exit policy checking
 code on the exit node and before the last policy is applied.

 As an example, we'd add the right headers for IP to ASN and then after a
 DNS resolve, we check the IP:port against the IP to ASN database and if it
 matches the allowed ASNs, we pass the policy test.

 This does not actually enable the client or any client to use these exits
 but it does mean that the exit can signal, locally, a policy related to
 ASN.

 We should also write a proposal to decide how clients use ASN exit
 policies safely.
