Subject: refactor iputil and make it return addresses in descending order of goodness instead... 
X-Git-Tag: allmydata-tahoe-0.3.0~68

refactor iputil and make it return addresses in descending order of goodness instead of in a set
Actually of course iputil can't tell exactly how good they are, and a wise user
of iputil will try all of them.  But you can't try all of them simultaneously,
so you might as well try the best ones first.
