Comment:

 Hmmm... I think the approach here is not ideal. It seems that the patch is
 looking at the _choosen_ exit node if we can use it with IPv6 and then
 unmark it.

 Instead, shouldn't we *pick* the node in the first place with IPv6 exit
 policy and not fail later? The function `connection_ap_can_use_exit()`
 seems to already performing validation on the exit node if the we have no
 IPv4 but IPv6 enabled.

 So I think we should do this filtering around `circuit_get_best()`?
