 Igor Mitrofano suggests that the Exit flag should be given to relays that
 allow exiting to the default secure IRC port 6697.

 From tor-relays:
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2017-July/012585.html

 The existing policy is "two ports from [80, 443, 6667]", or these options:
 * 80, 443
 * 80, 6667
 * 443, 6667

 We would change to "two ports from [80, 443, 6667-OR-6697]", adding these
 options:
 * 80, 6697
 * 443, 6697

 We don't need a new consensus method for this, because the way Exit flags
 are combined stays as majority vote.
