#4771: bridgedb should make clearer in its logs which addresses it knows are from
bulk-exitlist

 When I start bridgedb with loglevel INFO, it says things like
 {{{
 Dec 24 19:58:54 [INFO]   by location set: 59 50 56 50
 Dec 24 19:58:54 [INFO]   by category set: 40
 }}}
 and then when I hit if from an IP in the 'category set', it says
 {{{
 Dec 24 19:59:17 [INFO] area is 87.236.194
 Dec 24 19:59:17 [INFO] ---------------------------------
 Dec 24 19:59:17 [INFO] category<1970>87.236.194
 Dec 24 19:59:17 [INFO] Replying to web request from 87.236.194.158.
 Parameters were {}
 }}}

 So I assume that means the category set is the same as the set of bridges
 it gives out when an IP from the bulk-exitlist file asks.

 But the assignments.log gives no hint about which bridges are in this
 category set. Is it a subset of each ring? Or some other set that never
 gets logged in the assignments list? Confusing.
