#7211: impossible to specify --shared-secret in managed mode

Comment(by asn):
Oops. Seems like I've missed this ticket. Both of the child tickets
(#3594, #5299) were for the client-side (even though the #3594 subject
mentions `ServerTransportPlugin`).
The server-side is messier since it was not thought of when the 180 spec
was written.
The following components are needed:
- The shared-secret must be specified in the torrc and passed to the
transport proxy (#8929).
- Then, the transport proxy must announce to tor which strings must be
passed to BridgeDB (#8979)
- Then Tor must write those strings to its extrainfo descriptor and pass
them to the auth (#8978).
(- Then BridgeDB must learn how to parse that extrainfo descriptor
directive and present it to users (#9013))
I plan to start working on these soon (they are also needed if we want to
deploy scramblesuit).
I was waiting for comments on the spec change suggestions in #8929. I
guess I'll write a spec patch for it today or tomorrow.
