Use fascist firewall and ClientUseIPv4 for bridge clients
Bridge clients ignore ClientUseIPv6, acting as if it is always 1. This preserves existing behaviour. Make ClientPreferIPv6OR/DirPort auto by default: * Bridge clients prefer IPv6 by default. * Other clients prefer IPv4 by default. This preserves existing behaviour.
