[tor-relays] which DirPort should be advertised ?

See:

My takeaway is that there's little point to setting an IPv6 DirPort at this
point. Clients will rarely connect to it, and relays won't connect to it at
all. Furthermore, "In 0.2.8, clients assume that the IPv6 DirPort is the
same as the IPv4 DirPort" already. If that's still true, might as well
leave the v4 port advertised, and if a v6 client comes along it will try
the (non-advertised) v6 port anyway.

It seems like all of this is in flux though. Perhaps someone can provide an
update on the current progress.
