#3307: Ship "Use Bridge Only" versions of TBB

We need to provide people with TBBs that can be safely launched in
censored countries like Syria, Iran, and China.
The situation right now is that people will try to run our default
bundles, get blocked, and then try to configure a bridge. This currently
mandatory intermediate blocking step exposes users to potential arrest and
harassment, especially if they appear to get encrypted communications
working later.
This requires some work in the Tor client and Vidalia. The child tickets
are listed here.
