Knowing what the previous ADMD thought is explicitly a goal of ARC.  The
theory is, the first hop said that it was from yahoo.com and DKIM signature
matched, and then the mailing list changed it so the DKIM signature is now
broken, but I believe that the first hop was accurate, so I will bypass
DMARC reject.

Does it need to be included at every hop?  Well, what if it goes through a
mailing list at @google.com which does rewrite it to @google.com and DKIM
signs it to pass, then another hop which rewrites all of the links to use
Proofpoint's "smart malware redirector", so it would fail DMARC for a
domain that wasn't the original domain or evaluation.

The proposal which led to this, X-Original-Authentication-Results, was
basically a way to pass a single AuthRes header forward (in our impl, it is
only believed if it is covered by our X-Google-DKIM-Signature, ARC extends
this to handling multiple hops.
