 In #22805, teor proposes that we should use the following rule for setting
 our "is this a client flag" on a channel:

 >If a connecting peer has a zero identity digest, it's a client/bridge, if
 it doesn't, it's a relay. (A listening peer is always a relay.
 Interestingly, bridges look like relays to clients, but look like clients
 to public relays.)
