Bugfix on 0.2.0.5-alpha. - Make "UpdateBridgesFromAuthority" torrc option work: when bridge users configure that and specify a bridge with an identity fingerprint, now they will lookup the bridge descriptor at the default bridge authority via a one-hop tunnel, but once circuits are established they will switch to a three-hop tunnel for later - connections to the bridge authority. + connections to the bridge authority.
