------------------------------+--------------------------------
 We use entry_list_is_constrained() in a few places to find out if our list
 of entry points is highly limited (e.g., to a few bridges or a few
 EntryNodes).  But it doesn't do that very well:  instead, it looks to see
 if EntryNodes is set or UseBridges is set.

 We have better ways: we should be looking at the size of the guard sample,
 or something.
