If you're using bridges, generate "bootstrap problem" warnings

as soon as you run out of working bridges, rather than waiting
for ten failures -- which will never happen if you have less than
ten bridges.

     - Directory authorities shouldn't complain about bootstrapping
       problems just because they do a lot of reachability testing and
       some of the connection attempts fail.
+    - Start sending "count" and "recommendation" key/value pairs in
+      bootstrap problem status events, so the controller can hear about
+      problems even before Tor decides they're worth reporting for sure.
