[tor-relays] Reminder: don't run transparent proxies at exits

[eric gisse]

Why? People say 'DO NOT MESS WITH TRAFFIC' but in the same breath they
say 'BUT USE A CACHING DNS RESOLVER'.

This is an internally inconsistent attitude, and is not consistent
with how large scale operations function either. Tools like varnish,
CDN's, memcache, dns caching, etc are all common - and best -
practices.

If there's a practical consideration I am missing, that's different.
