Comment:

 Anything we do here will always have edge cases, like (multihomed) NAT, or
 NAT without an autodetected IP address.

 That said, I think I can fix this by:
 * refactoring `get_interface_address6` as a wrapper for a new
 `get_interface_address6_list`, which produces a smartlist of local
 addresses. (Similarly, create `get_interface_address_list`, a wrapper
 which produces a list of IPv4 addresses.)
 * blocking connections to all IPv4 addresses from
 `get_interface_address_list`, as long as rejectprivate and local_address
 are non-zero.
 * blocking connections to all IPv6 addresses from
 `get_interface_address6_list`, as long as rejectprivate and local_address
 and ipv6_exit are non-zero. (Otherwise, we're blocking all IPv6 addresses
 anyway.)
 * Creating or updating unit tests for `get_interface_address6_list`,
 `get_interface_address_list`, and `policies_parse_exit_policy_internal`.
