generalize choose_random_entry()'s dirinfo parameter

Now we can specify to skip bridges that wouldn't be able to answer the
type of dir fetch we're launching.

It's still the responsibility of the rest of the code to prevent us from
launching a given dir fetch if we have no bridges that could handle it.
