 In order for clients and relays to be able to contact an authority
 server over IPv6 we should expand the DirServer line to accept more
 than one OR port.

 Do we prefer "orport=ADDR0,ADDR1,..." or "orport=ADDR0 orport=ADDR1 ..."?
 Or perhaps something completely different?

 Note that an ADDR will be IP-ADDRESS ":" PORT-NUMBER rather than
 todays PORT-NUMBER..

 We need to
 - add field(s) to trusted_dir_server_t
 - fix the parsing in parse_dir_server_line(), probably by calling
 tor_addr_port_lookup().

 We also need #6772 (Fall back to alternative OR port if the current
 fails) to be implemented for this to be useful, f.ex. in
 directory_post_to_dirservers().
