Comment (by arma):

 A) This wants a control-spec.txt patch too (Section 5.5 at the bottom).

 B) {{{+  BOOTSTRAP_STATUS_REQUESTING_BRIDGE_DESC=3,}}}
 Doesn't this want to be =18? Oh, I see there is discussion above on this
 topic. I need to read that discussion more, but I hope to not buy it. If
 two of us like the 18% approach more, but there are bugs, we should
 explore and fix those bugs.

 C) The change in circuitbuild.c now no longer triggers
 BOOTSTRAP_STATUS_REQUESTING_STATUS in some cases? And it's not clear that
 we will necessarily get back into circuit_send_next_onion_skin() later, to
 trigger it? So does that mean there are now cases where we accidentally
 skip this bootstrap phase?
