#11482: Tor Launcher's bridge settings prompt is worded confusingly when there's no
provided bridges

--------------------------+-----------------------
 When one has requested to use bridges, Tor Launcher's (version 0.2.5.2 or
 git @ commit 773de03) wizard says: "You may use the provided set of
 bridges or you may obtain and enter a custom set of bridges." If no list
 of bridges is provided that wording is confusing since it refers to an
 option ("use the provided set of bridges") that currently is hidden.

 The prompt text should be changed to something more neutral that works in
 both cases, perhaps just "Configure bridges". Or why not remove it
 completely? The two radio button labels are instructive enough, so there
 is no need for a prompt that essentially repeats the information about
 what the choice is ('''if''' there indeed is a choice).

 If you think the prompt has to elaborate on the choice when there is one,
 separate prompts should be used for each case.
