New description:

 On Ubuntu xenial, systemd starts Tor before the IPv6 address is available
 and so Tor fails to assign an IPv6 address then exits. systemd tries to
 restart Tor (I think three times) but even by the last time there's still
 no IPv6 address assigned and hence Tor fails to start.

 As a work-around I copied `/lib/systemd/system/tor*` to
 `/etc/systemd/system/` and added `RestartSec=10` to the `[Service]`
 section of `tor@default.service` and `tor@.service`. This slows down the
 restart such that by the second time tor starts, there is an IPv6 address
 available.

 See log file below.

Comment (by sjmurdoch):

 I've updated the description to note that you need to copy the unit files
 out of /lib/systemd/system/ to /etc/systemd/system/ because otherwise
 upgrading Tor will overwrite your changes.
