#11108: SocksPolicy and DirPolicy ignore port specifications, contrary to
documentation

 The documentation for SocksPolicy and DirPolicy both say "policies have
 the same form as exit policies", but looking at the code at
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/4348c52a353a5242ddefc5c866ffb58e98443c7e:/src/or/policies.c#l344
 it appears both only consider the address, not the port number. The
 documentation should be updated to reflect this.

 (It seems unlikely to me that limiting the source ports allowed to connect
 to these listeners is actually a feature anyone wants, but maybe it is?)
