 When `AssumeReachable` is set on bridges, there's a race condition when
 bridges try to publish their descriptor to the bridge authority:
 * bridges try to publish their descriptors before bootstrapping
 * but bridges can't publish their descriptors, because they don't have
 enough directory info to build a circuit to the bridge authority

 Bridges will eventually try to publish their descriptors again, when they
 become dirty.

 We should make bridges wait until they have bootstrapped, before they try
 to publish their descriptors. (This might be a good change for relays as
 well: there isn't much point in publishing a relay that can't bootstrap.)
