[tor-relays] consensus-health.html and fallback dirs

Hi everybody

Reading [1] shows the following statistics about the fallback dirs:

Dec 5:
Running 	116
Not Running 	0
Missing 	34

Dec 13:
Running 	155
Not Running 	0
Missing 	2

Today (Dec 16) shows:
Running 	151
Not Running 	0
Missing 	6

I wonder how we can come from 116 running fallbacks to 155 within one
week (without a new release):


Then I checked for some fallbacks and found:

The relay with the fp F9246DEF2B653807236DA134F2AEAB103D58ABFE was a
fallback acc. fallback_dirs.inc until around 3.2.8rc, then it changed
ip. It is still in 2.9.x lts but with the old ip, recommended but
actually useless.

Since around Dec 13 it is listed again [1] where it wasn't through 2018.

The same with 8FA37B93397015B2BC5A525C908485260BE9F422.

Are the two relays newly counted as running in [1], where they are
useless because of the changed ips? The new ips aren't in any
fallback_dirs.inc's and [2] shows no fallback flag.
Would thereby [1] look better than it is?
