---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Some bugs:

 `get_possible_sybil_list()` doesn't consider IPv6 addresses at all.

 `clear_status_flags_on_sybil()` doesn't clear `ipv6_addr` (and maybe more
 flags).

 Also, maybe we could add a `log_notice` or `log_info` to mention if and
 which relays were found to be part of a Sybil attack.

 Finally (and this is a minor bug), in `get_possible_sybil_list()` we
 assume that `max_with_same_addr < max_with_same_addr_on_authority`, which
 is true in the current tor network, but maybe it shouldn't be an inherent
 property of the source code.
