Comment:

 One question. When we trigger the
 `BOOTSTRAP_STATUS_REQUESTING_BRIDGE_DESC` control event, we do it in the
 circuit building function instead of the "requesting bridge desc" function
 which I assume is `directory_get_from_dirserver`.

 For instance, `BOOTSTRAP_STATUS_REQUESTING_DESCRIPTORS` is used when we
 realize we need more descriptors rather than when the circuit is built for
 that request. What if that onehop circuit never gets build, we won't know
 that it was because we requested a bridge descriptor?
