 Currently, we need to use `TestingDirAuthVoteGuard *`,
 `TestingDirAuthVoteExit *`, and `AssumeReachable 1` to get a test network
 to bootstrap in under a minute. This is a rather blunt instrument to get
 boostrap working.

 The changes in #13718 and (probably) #13929 ensure that testing networks
 bootstrap in 30s, without using `TestingDirAuthVoteExit *` or
 `AssumeReachable 1`. This provides a comprehensive method of testing
 network / exit bootstrap.

 But it would be great to be able to test guard bootstrap too - perhaps by
 tweaking some settings in the chutney `torrc_templates`, or perhaps by
 fixing (i.e. speeding up guard flag assignment) in the implementation of
 tor's `Testing*` options.
