[tor-commits] [tor/master] Make directory node selection more reliable

commit 2e5b35db81e867e782086e3d714fcc7882c9c171
Author: teor (Tim Wilson-Brown) <teor2345 at gmail.com>

    Make directory node selection more reliable
    
    Delete an unnecessary check for non-preferred IP versions.
    
    Allows clients which can't reach any directories of their
    preferred IP address version to get directory documents.
    
    Patch on #17840 in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
