 Ticket #23508 describes some ways that clock skews during client
 bootstrapping can often cause stalls without any useful user feedback.
 Document some signs of this behavior (e.g., specific message patterns in
 log files, Tor Launcher messages when stalled) so we can better help users
 who aren't running a modern enough release to mitigate these issues.
