 The tor_addr_port_lookup() function uses the DNS resolver if it receives a
 hostname.  We don't want to support hostnames in bridge addresses, do we?
 Nothing in our spec says we do, does it?

 Alternatively, if we *do* want to support hostnames, we should drop the
 test in test_config.c that does:
 {{{
     bad_bridge_line_test("a.b.c.d");
 }}}

 Since being on a DNS-hijacking cafe wifi seems to make the test fail, when
 a.b.c.d _does_ resolve to something.
