 In 0.2.8, we made all client directory fetches use begindir over the
 ORPort.

 This makes ReachableDirAddresses useless for clients. And it doesn't apply
 to relays, so we should get rid of it.

 We should check and remove all the reachability code that uses
 FIREWALL_DIR_CONNECTION. This will help to simplify that code as well.
