fixup! Bug 40933: Add tor-launcher functionality

Bug 42541: Bridges without fingerprint break the circuit display.

The circuit display backend relies on GETCONF bridges because we want
to know the pluggable transport for the circuit display and, as far as
I can tell, no GETINFO command includes this information.

However, when we get a circuit from tor, we get its fingerprint, which
is optional on the bridge lines.
Therefore, in some cases we did not have the data to display, and we
just hid the circuit display button.

With this commit, when we miss the fingerprint of a bridge, we try to
get it in another way. It might produce incorrect results (we rely on
the IP address the user passes on the bridge line), but at least it
will show the circuit display.
