Comment (by nickm):

 * I think we want to allow the user to specify a lot of
 ClientTransportPlugins, and have that not matter unless they actually use
 one for a bridge?  If that's so, the new behavior in get_proxy_type() and
 parse_client_transport_line() might need work.

 * I think I merged another branch to refactor
 parse_client_transport_line().  I should check whether this conflicts
 badly now.

 * The documentation in get_pt_proxy_uri() should document that it returns
 a newly allocated string or NULL.

 * Do we verify elsewhere that our Socks5 username and password don't have
 any characters that cause trouble in a URI?  Should we?  (Same question
 for HTTPSProxyAuthenticator.)

 * Do we verify elsewhere that our Socks5 username and password are either
 both set or neither set?

 * We usually prefer "unsigned int x : 1" for one-bit booleans: 1 is a less
 surprising result for true than -1 is.
