Comment (by teor):

 The spec seems sensible, and the fix to the code looks correct.

 I think this is a good idea, because it will also make it possible to use
 the common link specifier code to connect to IPv6-only bridges in future.

 Before we merge this, I want to make sure we understand the IPv6 single
 onion bug in #23493. The current code should provide IPv4 for all relays,
 even if we connect to them over IPv6. (If we fix #23493 by ignoring
 missing IPv4 in descriptors and INTRODUCE cells, that's the wrong fix. The
 right fix is to provide both addresses if we know both for the relay.)
