 In Tor Launcher, the "bridge" part is optional and it seems simpler to
 omit it.  We will definitely get rid of the OR.

 Do we want to add a type for plain Tor bridges?  Tor Launcher could just
 strip it out when getting/setting the configuration; eventually, if tor is
 modified to support the new type TL can be changed to just pass it through
 to tor.  If the answer is "yes" we will need to decide on a good type
 keyword to use.  Maybe just "tor"?

 The other thing mentioned on IRC was the idea of using the same type
 keywords in the dropdown menu as we use in torrc.  Should we do that?
 Then the dropdown would look something like:
 {{{
    +----------------------+
    |  obfs3 (recommended) |
    |  flashproxy          |
    |  scramblesuit        |
    +----------------------+

 }}}
