New description:

 #1608 says we'll avoid giving out bridges that are blocked in china, when
 a user asks for bridges that will work in china.

 So as part of that task we need to figure out the file format that we'll
 write the list of which bridges are unusable from china, and then make
 bridgedb load, parse, and use it.

Comment(by karsten):

 Oops.  I didn't mean to change the description.  The sentence "If not, can
 you add a comment saying why this is safe?" was meant as part of the
 comment.
