> Calling this merge-ready, but for 0.3.0. I predict that there will be at
least one impressively weird implication of removing the server_mode()
check in we_use_microdescriptors_for_circuits().

I predict one weird but very minor impact:
* some DirPort reachability checks will fail, because relays will
occasionally choose a relay that exits to their DirPort for most of the
world, but not their address
* in the rare cases where this does happen, there might be a short delay
to relay initial bootstrap while the relay retries another exit
* this has less impact on bridges, as they don't need a DirPort
* relays only do reachability checks once, just after they start, so
this has no ongoing impact for running relays
