 Since #29430 was fixed, the Tor Browser circuit display shows "meek_lite"
 instead of "meek" (this is because the circuit display code gets the PT
 name from the Tor configuration and obfs4proxy uses "meek_lite" as the
 name for its meek implementation).

 I think it would be better and less confusing if the circuit display
 showed "meek" as it did in previous versions of Tor Browser. The "lite"
 part is somewhat misleading given obfs4proxy's use of utls to mimic common
 TLS ClientHello messages.

 Antonela, do you agree? Any other opinions?

 (I included the tbb-9.0-must-alpha keyword so we remember to decide about
 this before we ship Tor Browser 9.0 stable).
