 If we fail to generate an extrainfo (can that happen?) we go on generating
 a routerinfo, but later in router_rebuild_descriptor() we do:

 {{{
   if (options->BridgeRelay) {
     /* Bridges shouldn't be able to send their descriptors unencrypted,
        anyway, since they don't have a DirPort, and always connect to the
        bridge authority anonymously.  But just in case they somehow think
 of
        sending them on an unencrypted connection, don't allow them to try.
 */
     ri->cache_info.send_unencrypted = ei->cache_info.send_unencrypted = 0;
   } else {
     ri->cache_info.send_unencrypted = ei->cache_info.send_unencrypted = 1;
   }
 }}}

 note the unconditional assignment to a field of ei.
