-------------------------+---------------------
 mjt identified an issue where OutboundBindAddress and ORPort were set
 according to a secondary IP on a multi-homed host yet Tor utilized the
 default/primary IP when making outbound connections. This is only remedied
 by setting Address in addition to other Bind directives which is not
 friendly nor intuitive.

 Make the default OutboundBindAddress imply expected Address,
 ORBindAddress, ORPort settings if not explicitly set, and verify config
 behavior with apropos unit tests.
