Make bridge clients download bridge descriptors immediately
The download schedule tells Tor to wait 15 minutes before downloading
bridge descriptors. But 17750 made Tor ignore that and start immediately.
Since we fixed 17750, Tor waits 15 minutes for bridge client bootstrap,
like the schedule says.
This fixes the download schedule to start immediately, and to try each
bridge 3 times in the first 30 seconds. This should make bridge bootstraps
more reliable.
Fixes 23347.

+ o Minor bug fixes (bridge client bootstrap):
+ - Make bridge clients download bridge descriptors immediately.
+ The bridge schedules were never correct, but we didn't realise until
+ the fix for 17750 made bridge clients hang for 15 minutes before
+ bootstrapping.
+ Fixes bug 23347. Not in any released version of Tor.
