[tor-commits] [bridgedb/develop] Validate extrainfo descriptors by default.

    Validate extrainfo descriptors by default.
    
    Also update the documentation of `b.p.d.parseBridgeExtraInfoFiles` to
    mention a method for ``router-signature`` verification, and the reasons
    why we use Stem's ``RelayExtraInfoDescriptor`` class, rather than the
    ``BridgeExtraInfoDescriptor`` class.
