 Almost all clients, relays, and authorities use microdescriptors by
 default.

 Microdescriptor port summaries include a port if it exits to almost all
 IPv4 addresses (blocks no more than an IPv4 /7).

 But the Exit flag is given if at least two of ports 80, 443, 6667 exit to
 at least an IPv4 /8.

 This means an Exit can get the Exit flag, without having any of these
 ports in its IPv4 exit policy summary.

 I suggest we only award the Exit flag if an Exit has at least two of ports
 80, 443, 6667 in its IPv4 Exit policy summary.

 This also requires a spec change for the Exit flag.
