New description:

 Currently, we need to use `TestingDirAuthVoteGuard *`,
 `TestingDirAuthVoteExit *`, and `AssumeReachable 1` to get a test network
 to bootstrap in under a minute. With #8243, we may need to create a
 `TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir *` option as well.

 These are rather blunt instruments to get boostrap working.

 The changes in #13718 and (probably) #13929 ensure that testing networks
 bootstrap in 30s, without using `TestingDirAuthVoteExit *` or
 `AssumeReachable 1`. This provides a comprehensive method of testing
 network / exit bootstrap.

 But it would be great to be able to test Guard/HSDir bootstrap too -
 perhaps by tweaking some settings in the chutney `torrc_templates`, or
 perhaps by fixing the implementation of one or more of tor's `Testing...`
 options (i.e. speeding up Guard/HSDir flag assignment in test networks).
