#33582: Make bridges wait until they have bootstrapped, before publishing their
descriptor

-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
When `AssumeReachable` is set on bridges, there's a race condition when
bridges try to publish their descriptor to the bridge authority:
* bridges try to publish their descriptors before bootstrapping
* but bridges can't publish their descriptors, because they don't have
enough directory info to build a circuit to the bridge authority
Bridges will eventually try to publish their descriptors again, when they
become dirty.
We should make bridges wait until they have bootstrapped, before they try
to publish their descriptors. (This might be a good change for relays as
well: there isn't much point in publishing a relay that can't bootstrap.)
