"Tor has included a feature to fetch the initial consensus from nodes other than the authorities for a while now. We just haven't shipped a list of alternate locations for clients to go to yet. Reasons why we might want to ship tor with a list of additional places where clients can find the consensus is that it makes authority reachability and BW less important. We want them to have been around and using their current key, address, and port for a while now (120 days), and have been running, a guard, and a v2 directory mirror for most of that time." We exclude BadExits and tor versions that aren't recommended. We include an IPv6 address for each FallbackDir (see ticket 8374).

The unit test ensures that we successfully load all included default fallback directories. add_default_fallback_dir_servers(). Doing this should improve client reliability and initial bootstrap performance, and reduce load on the directory authorities. Closes ticket 15775. Patch by "teor".
