-----------------------------+--------------------------------
 Add ClientPreferIPv6DirPort to express a preference for IPv6 directory
 connections over IPv4 directory connections.

 Tor already has ClientPreferIPv6ORPort, which expresses a preference for
 IPv6 OR connections over IPv4 OR connections.

 (ClientUseIPv6 allows the use of IPv6 connections,
 ClientPreferIPv6ORPort/ClientPreferIPv6DirPort are the tie-breakers if
 IPv4 and IPv6 are both equally likely.)

 While we're doing this, let's warn on nonsensical situations like
 ClientPreferIPv6* 1 ClientUseIPv6 0. (Although ClientPreferIPv6* 0
 ClientUseIPv6 1 should be an info or notice, as ClientPreferIPv6* 0 is the
 default.)
