#22266: fix the jump-to-80% issue

------------------------------+--------------------------------
If enough existing directory information is available, the bootstrap
progress as reported to the logs and the control connection jumps from 0%
to 80% almost immediately. This is misleading and causes user
frustration, as reported by Linda's study.
When bootstrapping with existing directory information, we should rescale
the progress numbers so they advance on something resembling a linear time
scale, which is probably closer to what users expect to see.
