 I opened a ticket to include this data in OnionOO, see #21637.

 no good here, see #20916).

 One solution to #20916 does involve adding a (No)IPv6 address flag to the
 microdesc consensus. But we might end up adding IPv6 addresses instead,
 because that makes bootstrap easier. In the meantime, OnionOO can check
 for the presence of an IPv6 address in the full consensus.

 Onionoo so Atlas doesn't see this distinction.

 We can fix that.
