New description:
Using IPv6 ORPorts will make relay behaviour consistent with future client
behaviour.
The only difference is that relays will also use IPv4 DirPorts, but
clients will not.
Relays should try to upload descriptors using IPv4 and IPv6 as well, to
detect authority connectivity issues.

Comment (by teor):
Relays should try to upload descriptors using IPv4 and IPv6 as well, to
detect authority connectivity issues.
We might want to do both every time, or choose IPv4 or IPv6 at random, and
fall back to the other address family if the first upload fails.
