[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.4.5] relay: Look at the omit IPv6 flag when publishing

commit 685c4866acf8489c58aca41ec01aa5a53e39220a
Author: David Goulet <dgoulet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    relay: Look at the omit IPv6 flag when publishing
    
    In two instances we must look at this flag:
    
    1. When we build the descriptor so the IPv6 is NOT added to the descriptor in
       case we judge that we need to omit the address but still publish.
    
    2. When we are deciding if the descriptor is publishable. This flags tells us
       that the IPv6 was not found reachable but we should still publish.
    
    Fixes #40279

+      publish if the IPv4 is correct. Fixes bug 40279; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
