- Make "UpdateBridgesFromAuthority" torrc option work: when bridge
users configure that and specify a bridge with an identity
fingerprint, now they will lookup the bridge descriptor at the
default bridge authority via a one-hop tunnel, but once circuits
are established they will switch to a three-hop tunnel for later

+ o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
+ - Hidden services were choosing introduction points uniquely by
+ hexdigest, but when constructing the hidden service descriptor
+ they merely wrote the (potentially ambiguous) nickname.
+ - Clients now use the v2 intro format for hidden service
+ connections: they specify their chosen rendezvous point by identity
+ digest rather than by (potentially ambiguous) nickname. Both
+ are bugfixes on 0.1.2.x, and they could speed up hidden service

o Minor features (security):

o Minor features (guard nodes):
- - Tag every guard node in our state file with the version that we believe
- added it, or with our own version if we add it. This way, if a user
- temporarily runs an old version of Tor and then switches back to a new
- one, she doesn't automatically lose her guards.

o Code simplifications and refactoring:

- Turn "descriptor store" into a full-fledged type.

- Unify all code that computes medians, percentile elements, etc.
