Relays that don't have sufficient mean-time-between-failure don't get the
Stable flag, and streams whose destination ports are in the LongLivedPorts
list avoid relays that don't have the Stable flag.

  V(LongLivedPorts,              CSV,
        "21,22,706,1863,5050,5190,5222,5223,6523,6667,6697,8300"),

Currently moria1 is voting 1068997 seconds for the MTBF threshold,
i.e. a bit over 12 days.

So dynamic relays can still be useful, and hopefully we won't end up
cutting too many ssh sessions.
