#17963: Bridge clients should get directory documents via IPv6

------------------------+--------------------------------
 In directory_get_from_dirserver, a bridge client determines the bridge's
 address using node_get_addr, which only returns IPv4 addresses.

 After #17840 is merged, the bridge client should:
 * respect ClientUseIPv4/6
 * choose a random directory guard that has an available address family
 (this should just work in choose_random_dirguard after #17840, but we need
 to check this)
 * choose an address from that dirguard from an available address family

 And maybe:
 * respect ClientPreferIPv6OR/DirPort
 * set ClientPreferIPv6OR/DirPort to 1 by default?
   * this will be tricky because these options already have a default
 value, and we don't want to write it out
