Comment:
Existing client guard code already implements this feature by trying
another guard if one fails.
#24403 will make relays retry IPv4 and IPv6 when an EXTEND has both
addresses.
#17835 should do the same for client connections to entry nodes.
(If a specific entry node is required (single onion services only?), we
should choose an available address at random. If not, we should do what
the existing guard code does, and choose another entry node at random -
because we are more likely to succeed than a retry.)
