 In #24490, we changed dirserv_set_bridges_running() to happen immediately
 before writing to disk, rather than updating each bridge with each
 getinfo.  That's good for the typical use case, but it makes GETINFO less
 accurate than it was before.  Perhaps we should change
 dirserv_set_bridges_running() to use a timer instead.

 If we do this, we should do it after #30293 is merged, since that is
 likely to change the pattern for periodic events.
