Previously the client would ask the bridge for microdescriptors, which are
only supported in 0.2.3.x and later, and then fail to bootstrap when it
didn't get the answers it wanted. Fixes bug 4013; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
The fix here is to revert to using normal descriptors if any of our
bridges are known to not support microdescs. This is not ideal, a) because
we'll start downloading a microdesc consensus as soon as we get a bridge
descriptor, and that will waste time if we later get a bridge descriptor
that tells us we don't like microdescriptors; and b) by changing our mind
we're leaking to our other bridges that we have an old-version bridge.
The alternate fix would have been to change
we_use_microdescriptors_for_circuits() to ask if *any* of our bridges
can support microdescriptors, and then change the directory logic that
picks a bridge to only select from those that do. For people living in
the future, where 0.2.2.x is obsolete, there won't be a difference.
Note that in either of these potential fixes, we have risk of oscillation
if our one funny-looking bridges goes away / comes back.
This option seems to be supported all the way back to at least 10.4, so
enabling it for OS X in general should be fine. If not, someone will
yell.
With no libs statically linked, that's a 3% win in binary size, with
just libevent linked statically, this gives us an advantage of 5% in
terms of binary size, and with libevent and openssl statically linked,
we gain over 18% or over 500KB.
Implements ticket 2915.
These were found by looking for tor_snprintf() instances that were
preceeded closely by tor_malloc(), though I probably converted some
more snprintfs as well.
(In every case, make sure that the length variable (if any) is
removed, renamed, or lowered, so that anything else that might have
assumed a longer buffer doesn't exist.)

(To ensure correctness, in every case, make sure that the temporary
variable is deleted, renamed, or lowered in scope, so we can't have
any bugs related to accidentally relying on the no-longer-filled
variable.)
Fixes bug #4897, not yet in any release.
Using n_circ_id alone here (and below, when n_conn is NULL) really sucks,
but that's a separate bug which will need a changes/ file.
