 Tom Ritter reported that the information at the bottom of
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges.html.en#RunningABridge on running
 a Bridge relay is very out-of-date. We should probably:

  1) Move it to a separate page, because it's intended for a different
 audience than the rest of the page.

  2) Explain that operators should be running Tor>=0.2.5 if they want to
 offer pluggable transports.

  3) Update it to explain the minimum requirements for running an
 obfs4proxy bridge, and give an example torrc like:

     {{{
 ORPort 1.1.1.1:62419
 ORAddress [2001::f00]:62420
 ExtORPort auto
 RunAsDaemon 1
 ExitPolicy reject *:*

 BridgeRelay 1
 ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
 ServerTransportListenAddr 1.1.1.1:80
 ServerTransportPlugin obfs3 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
 ServerTransportListenAddr 1.1.1.1:443

  4) Explain how people can get/construct their bridge lines in order to
 test their bridge.
