 The latter was my solution. LocalNodeBuilder._getAltAuthLines() does not
 currently know about the network so I decided to pass in a boolean value
 `hasbridgeauth` that simply tells it which option it should use (DirServer
 vs AlternateDirAuthority). This may not be the best solution, so
 suggestions are welcome.
