    Revert "IPv6 sybil: consider addresses in the same /64 to be equal."
    
    This reverts commit d07f17f67685d75fec8a851b3ae3d157c1e31aa3.
    
    We don't want to consider an entire routable IPv6 network as sybil if more
    than 2 relays happen to be on it. For path selection it is very important but
    not for selecting relays in the consensus.
    
    Fixes #40243

+  o Major bugfixes (authority, IPv6):
+    - Do not consider multiple relays in the same IPv6 network to be sybils.
+      Sybils are selected based on the /128 now, not the /64. Fixes bug 40243;
