 When choosing between two nodes on the same IP, we based the choice on
 bandwidth. But right now, we use dirserv_get_bandwidth_for_router(), which
 looks at measured bw and falls back to advertised when measured isn't
 present.  Probably it makes more sense, if there are two nodes, one of
 which has measured bw and one of which doesn't, to prefer the one with
 measured bw.
