[tor-relays] Webtunnel type bridge Tor Metrics

[Hiro]

Dionysios, all,

This was an issue with rdsys and documents that weren't being synced to 
the vm where collector.torproject.org lives.

For details:

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys/-/issues/199

It should be solved now.

Talk soon,

-hiro
