 Issue:
 Tor does not log (or does not perform) a test to determine if an IPv6
 ORPort is reachable.

 Tor does log a corresponding test for an IPv4 ORPort.

 Environment:
 Debian squeeze amd64, latest patches
 Tor version 0.2.4.2-alpha (git-0537dc6364594474)

 How to reproduce:
 - configure Tor with both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses and OrPorts.
 - start Tor
 - the Tor log file will show a test to determine if the IPv4 OrPort is
 reachable, but not if the IPv6 ORPort is reachable.
 - (this particular system was configured as a bridge)

 Expected Behavior:
 The user might expect to see a log entry for IPv6 that corresponds to the
 following log entry for IPv4:

 "Sep 22 11:09:21.000 [notice] Now checking whether ORPort [host's IPv4
 address]:443 is reachable... (this may take up to 20 minutes -- look for
 log messages indicating success)"
