This prevents long stalls when we're starting with a state file but
with no bridge descriptors. Fixes bug 9229. I believe this bug has
been present since 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Also fix a bug where if the guard we choose first doesn't answer, we
would try the second guard, but once we connected to the second guard
we would abandon it and retry the first one, slowing down bootstrapping.
The fix in both cases is to treat all our initially chosen guards as
acceptable to use.
Fixes bug 9946.
There was a bug in Tor prior to 0.2.4.10-alpha that allowed counts to
become invalid. Clipping the counts at startup allows us to rule out
log messages due to corruption from these prior Tor versions.
Apparently something in the directory guard code made it possible
for the same node to get added as a guard over and over when there
were no actual running guard nodes.
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.
Now as we move into a future where most bridges can handle microdescs
we will generally find ourselves using them, rather than holding back
just because one of our bridges doesn't use them.
Path use bias measures how often we can actually succeed using the circuits we
actually try to use. It is a subset of path bias accounting, but it is
computed as a separate statistic because the rate of client circuit use may
vary depending on use case.

Turns out there's more than one way to block a tagged circuit.
This seems to successfully handle all of the normal exit circuits. Hidden
services need additional tweaks, still.
