 Bridge operators can be reasonably sure that obfsproxy works for them
 since they see the {{{Registered server transport}}} log message.

 OTOH, clients can't be sure whether their obfsproxy works or whether they
 connected to a bridge with obfsproxy.

 I think we should add PT information to one of the "connected to bridge"
 log messages.

 Specifically, to:
 {{{
 log_notice(LD_DIR, "Learned fingerprint %s for bridge %s"
 }}}
 or to
 {{{
 log_notice(LD_DIR, "new bridge descriptor '%s' (%s): %s"
 }}}

 IIUC the latter will appear in the logs everytime we connect to a bridge,
 even if we knew the bridge fingerprint.
