-------------------------------+------------------------------------
 Many areas of the Tor codebase assume that a relay has a single IPv4
 address, or perhaps an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. Multi-homed relays may
 have many such addresses.

 Therefore, some callers of get_interface_address[6] may be able to use the
 list of addresses from the get_interface_address6_list function introduced
 in #17027.

 We should review all calls to get_interface_address and
 get_interface_address6 to see if they would benefit from using a list
 instead.
