Comment (by teor):

 Thanks for these results, tom.

 I am still working on an updated version of this branch, and can get it to
 100% bootstrap.

 But data transmission fails due to the following:
 * The authorities upload their descriptors, but appear to fail
 reachability self-testing (and therefore don't allow anything to exit? I
 need to confirm this).
 * The exit relay(s) appear to fail reachability self-testing (and
 therefore descriptor upload, so they don't appear in the consensus).
 * Even if reachability was working, I would also need the consensus to run
 again to pick up the changed descriptors - see #13823.
 * The client(s) complain they don't have any usable exits, so they fail to
 transmit data.

 I will look into this within the next few days, and tweak a few things,
 then post an updated version of the code for comments (and, if I've made
 no progress, a plea for help).
