#32588: Setting ORPort [ipv6]:auto mistakenly advertises port 94

Start your Tor with
{{{
ORPort 9001
ORPort [2a01:238:43e4:2b00:ae5a:a980:1f63:cc5e]:auto nolisten
DirPort 9030
}}}
and let it start up. Then go to http://127.0.0.1/tor/server/authority and
check out how it has the line
{{{
or-address [2a01:238:43e4:2b00:ae5a:a980:1f63:cc5e]:94
}}}
First: How did it pick that number? It's a weird choice for a port.
Second: If this is actually your ipv6 address, you can leave out the
nolisten, and that's where things get interesting. Your logs will say
something like
{{{
Nov 24 01:53:42 v4 tor[10988]: Nov 24 01:53:42.001 [notice] Opening OR
listener on [2a01:238:43e4:2b00:ae5a:a980:1f63:cc5e]:0
Nov 24 01:53:42 v4 tor[10988]: Nov 24 01:53:42.002 [notice] Opened OR
listener on [2a01:238:43e4:2b00:ae5a:a980:1f63:cc5e]:41535
}}}
but then your descriptor will still say :94.
This is happening right now to relay "Testbit": they have set :auto for
their ipv6 address in their ORPort, they get the above line about how it's
opened on port 41535, and yet their descriptor says it's on port 94.
