Stop waiting for microdescs if the consensus supports IPv6 ORPorts

Also make IPv6-only clients wait for microdescs for relays, even if we were
previously using descriptors (or were using them as a bridge) and have
a cached descriptor for them.

But if node_is_a_configured_bridge(), stop waiting for its IPv6 address in
a microdescriptor, because we'll never use it.

Implements #23827.
