    Preliminary support for Tor/I2P hidden services · 415e71c8

    There are plans to let Bitcoin function as Tor/I2P hidden service.
    To do so, we could use the established encoding provided by OnionCat
    and GarliCat (without actually using those tools) to embed Tor/I2P
    addresses in IPv6.
    
    This patch makes these addresses considered routable, so they can
    travel over the Bitcoin network in 'addr' messages. This will hopefully
    make it easier to deploy real hidden service support later.
