 Censorship measurement platforms like OONI can request bridges to test
 from wolpertinger's REST API. Some platforms may be unable to talk to
 wolpertinger because it runs on bridges.torproject.org, which may be
 blocked. (This isn't an issue for OONI because it intends to proxy
 wolpertinger requests over its backend.)

 We should set up a domain-fronted endpoint to fix this issue: In addition
 to a direct connection to bridges.torproject.org/wolpertinger, censorship
 measurement platforms should be able to use a domain front at
 ajax.aspnetcdn.com.

 After reading #27469 and #16650, I believe that we need to configure
 another azure reflector, e.g., wolpertinger.azureedge.net, which is hooked
 up to https://bridges.torproject.org/wolpertinger/.
