[tor-commits] [tor/master] use microdescriptors if *any* of our bridges can handle them
commit a8297cdbd3324ac707165ae9922ecf478c4608a1

use microdescriptors if *any* of our bridges can handle them
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.

+ o Minor features:
+ - Teach bridge-using clients to avoid 0.2.2 bridges when making
+ microdescriptor-related dir requests, and only fall back to normal
+ descriptors if none of their bridges can handle microdescriptors
+ (as opposed to the fix in ticket 4013, which caused them to fall
+ back to normal descriptors if *any* of their bridges preferred
+ them). Resolves ticket 4994.
