 When deploying relays with IPv6 OR port(s) (#4564) we will want to
 make it possible for directory authority operators to select if they
 should vote on "a" lines or not.  Add a configuration option,
 AuthDirUseIPv6, indicating that a directory authority should test OR
 ports given in "or-address" lines in server descriptors and vote on
 them.  There might be a better name for the config option.

 #5534 implements the testing and writing "a" lines to status
 documents.  This is done for bridge authorities only.  That test
 should be replaced with a test for the above mentioned config option.
