 As part of the effort to improve the user experience during Tor Launcher
 bootstrap (#21951), it would be helpful to know some details of how Tor
 Launcher currently uses bootstrap status messages (`STATUS_CLIENT
 BOOTSTRAP` asynchronous messages from the control protocol).  Among other
 things, it could help Core Tor make short-term incremental changes to
 vastly improve the user experience.

 * Does the progress bar currently map phase numbers directly into percent-
 done on the bar?
 * Does it do anything with `TAG=` keywords in the BOOTSTRAP messages?
 * Does it do anything with `SUMMARY=` strings other than displaying them
 in the dialog box?
 * How does it know when to display the "copy logs" button with the warning
 icon?
 * Which other of the `BOOTSTRAP` keywords does it use and how?
 * Does it use any other asynchronous control protocol messages?
