[dgoulet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

commit 01a5b41be0aa0d8ab2574d7075af8db2878a1cf3
Author: Roger Dingledine <arma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Jan 25 02:16:44 2021 -0500

    New ReconfigDropsBridgeDescs config option
    
    Let external bridge reachability testing tools discard cached
    bridge descriptors when setting new bridges, so they can be sure
    to get a clean reachability test.
    
    Implements ticket 40209.
