New description:

 There is a list of default_authorities in src/or/config.c.
 We want it in a separate file at src/or/auth_dirs.inc.

 This should be implemented like the default_fallbacks array, which
 includes the fallback list from src/or/fallback_dirs.inc.

 We will need to implement two branches for backporting:
 * a branch on maint-0.2.9 for 0.2.9 and later. It has IPv6 addresses.
 * ~~a branch on maint-0.2.5 for 0.2.5. It has no IPv6 addresses.~~

 (Then, after we have moved it into a separate file, we want to
 automatically generate the file, in a new format. See the rest of the
 children of #24818.)
