 `flashproxy-client` transport plugin to start without having to configure
 any false bridges. We currently use the "fake" address 0.0.1.0:1, but it's
 not for the sake of getting the transport to start up--it's because we
 don't know any real bridge addresses at startup time.

 This is also related to #5018.
