o Major feature (relay):
- Relay do not use nor advertise a DirPort anymore. Only authorities do
because it is still used by them. Closes ticket 40282.
- Authority DirPort self reachability test has now been removed because
network reentry to that DirPort is not allowed anymore.
o Removed features (relay):
- Because DirPorts are only used on authorities, relays no longer
advertise them. Similarly, self-testing for DirPorts has been disabled,
since an unreachable DirPort is no reason for a relay not to advertise
itself. (Configuring a DirPort will still work, for now.) Closes
ticket 40282.

As of Tor 0.4.6.1-alpha, non-authoritative relays (see
AuthoritativeDirectory) will not publish the DirPort but will still listen
on it so to avoid any unknown issues by closing all the sudden all
DirPorts on the network for most relays. We expect relays to stop
listening at some point in future stable releases. It is thus safe for you
on it. Clients don't use the DirPorts on relays, so it is safe for you
to remove the DirPort from your torrc configuration.
