 This is related to the Snowflake protocol design tickets #29206 and
 #29207.

 We want to write these protocols in a way that is not Snowflake-specific
 but allows the client to request any type of bridge from our
 broker/BridgeDB bridge distribution service.

 Some things to keep in mind are that we'd like to give the clients
 multiple ways to connect to the bridge distributor and should get the
 necessary information for multiple types of bridges. We also need various
 ways for identifying or distinguishing clients that will aid our bridge
 partitioning system (e.g., salmon, hyphae). This could be by supplying
 email addresses, secrets, etc.
