#30441: Stop BridgeDB from handing out offline bridges

BridgeDB currently hands out plenty of bridges (in all flavours) that are
offline. We need to understand why this is the case, and stop it from
doing that.
For example, I just got the obfs4 bridge
`4C480695650EDB6BAB006DB9FD81F6173122E973` over HTTPS. Nothing responds
on its obfs4 port and
[https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/86EBB09CE8FF1B467CBC38A7658618775692AABC
Metrics] says that it's currently offline -- or used to be, a few hours
ago, to be precise. The bridge's IP address is part of Serge's most recent
networkstatus-bridges file, but the bridge does not have the `Running`
flag and should not have been given out. Also, the bridge's fingerprint
isn't part of BridgeDB's latest assignments.log file. According to all of
this, I should not have been given that bridge.
