 In #3196 we're heading toward slowing down bootstrapping with the hope of
 making the first thing the Tor user clicks on not compete with the
 "fetching the rest of the descriptors" phase.

 If we start making circuits at the "25% of descriptors" mark, but don't
 call ourselves bootstrapped until both a) we have a circuit and b) we have
 75%, how much time do we save?
