New description:

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

 This makes ReachableDirAddresses and ClientPreferIPv6DirPort useless for
 clients. And they don't apply to relays, so we should get rid of them.

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