 After Tor 0.4.3.0-alpha-dev successfully established a TCP connection with
 a bridge but failed to finish its handshake, it sends the following
 `STATUS_CLIENT` message to the controller:
 {{{
 650 STATUS_CLIENT WARN BOOTSTRAP PROGRESS=10 TAG=handshake_dir
 SUMMARY="Finishing handshake with directory server" WARNING="DONE"
 REASON=DONE COUNT=1 RECOMMENDATION=warn
 HOSTID="0000000000000000000000000000000000000000" HOSTADDR="[scrubbed]"
 }}}

 One can reproduce this by using torproject.org's web server as a bridge:
 95.216.163.36:80. The substring `WARNING="DONE"` is misleading and should
 – if I'm interpreting [https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree
 /control-spec.txt#n2682 control-spec.txt] correctly – contain a human-
 readable description of what went wrong.  Other `STATUS_CLIENT` messages
 do a better job; for example:
 {{{
 650 STATUS_CLIENT WARN BOOTSTRAP PROGRESS=5 TAG=conn_dir
 SUMMARY="Connecting to directory server" WARNING="Connection refused"
 REASON=CONNECTREFUSED COUNT=1 RECOMMENDATION=warn
 HOSTID="0000000000000000000000000000000000000000" HOSTADDR="[scrubbed]"
 }}}
 Here, the substring `WARNING="Connection refused"` gives me a good idea of
 what's going on.

 I suggest to fix the warning in this particular error case.
