 Tor learns its own address, either by using the interface or by reading
 the http headers in directory responses.

 But if your Tor had enough dir info cached when it came back up, it
 doesn't make any directory requests for a while. And then getinfo address
 will not have any opinion.

 I think the best plan here is to expand the set of things inside Tor that
 remembers address guesses, to include address guesses we get from netinfo
 cells.

 Wanted by #7348.
