 Oops. Relay descriptors only have one address in their "router" line.

 From dir-spec.txt:
 `"router" nickname address ORPort SOCKSPort DirPort NL`

 So the ORPort and DirPort need to be on the same IP address.

 We should log a warning if the following addresses don't match:
 * the IPv4 address used in the descriptor
   * resolve_my_address()
 * an IPv4 address belonging to an ORPort that matches the ORPort we're
 about to advertise
   * router_get_advertised_or_port()
   * skip ORPort addresses with NoAdvertise set
 * an IPv4 address belonging to a DirPort that matches the DirPort we're
 about to advertise
   * router_get_advertised_dir_port()
   * skip DirPort addresses with NoAdvertise set


 For bonus points, and extra incompatibility risks, we could modify
 resolve_my_address to use:

 * Address
 * an IPv4 address belonging to an ORPort that matches the ORPort we're
 about to advertise
 * an IPv4 address belonging to a DirPort that matches the ORPort we're
 about to advertise
 * the other ways we currently try and guess our address
