#5511: Make clearer in the doc NOT to include bridges in MyFamily

Right now, in the default torrc (
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/src/config/torrc.sample.in
), it is said :
## Uncomment this if you run more than one Tor relay, and add the identity
## key fingerprint of each Tor relay you control, even if they're on
## different networks. You declare it here so Tor clients can avoid
## using more than one of your relays in a single circuit. See
## https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#MultipleRelays
#MyFamily $keyid,$keyid,...
However, as rransom pointed out to me, bridges should NEVER see their
fingerprints set in the MyFamily setting.
rransom | DO NOT include a bridge's fingerprint in any Tor instance's
MyFamily torrc line.
rransom | Anyone can use a bridge's fingerprint to find its current TCP
address.
This should be clearly enunciated both in the torrc file AND in the FAQ (
https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#MultipleRelays ) to be sure to avoid
any user error.
