Changes (by sqrt2):

 * status:  needs_information => needs_revision


Comment:

 OK, here it goes. What this is basically supposed to do is

   * Make address detection handle interfaces that have multiple addresses
 of the same address family better. get_interface_address{,6} returns a
 list, get_stable_interface_address still returns a single address that
 only changes when it must.
   * If we are a bridge, add additional listener addresses to our
 descriptor. (This is routerinfo_t.more_or_listeners.)
   * Make additional or-address lines in descriptors parseable.
   * Give directory authorities the ability to test the reachability of
 additional addresses in the descriptor. (Limited to 7, for now.)

 I've tested this some, but I'd appreciate it of course if someone else
 gave it a spin as well.
