That's not necessary--the PT doesn't need to know the advertised external
address because it is not the thing that constructs the descriptor. All
that a PT could do with that information is reflect it back to tor.
A PT process isn't even required to honor the address (port number) in
TOR_PT_SERVER_BINDADDR. tor may suggest that the PT use a particular
address, but it is ultimately the PT that chooses and informs tor of the
actual address in an SMETHOD line.
