 Hi Nick, Roger,

 I've taken the hidden service bootstrap time down to 25 seconds from 45
 seconds.
 I think this is a reasonable bootstrap time, but I can look at it again in
 #14034.

 This required the following changes:
 * TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir
 * Reduce MIN_REND_INITIAL_POST_DELAY to 5 seconds in testing networks
 (still 30 by default)
 * Increase default delay in src/test/test-network.sh to 25 seconds to
 match the hs delay.

 Unfortunately, bridge clients still take around 35 seconds to bootstrap.
 I'll keep working on that over in #14067, I guess.

 The changes to tor are accompanied by corresponding changes to chutney:
 * Test hidden services and bridge clients with chutney verify
 * Review the required number of relays/exits/authorities for 2 guards with
 25% of the network assigned the guard flag (i.e. learn to count to 8)

 I can split the chutney commit into guard numbers, bridge clients, and
 hidden services if you would like, but by the time I got to this stage,
 they were all fairly intertwined.
