Make clearer in the doc NOT to include bridges in MyFamily

Right now, in the default torrc ( https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/src/config/torrc.sample.in ), it is said :

Uncomment this if you run more than one Tor relay, and add the identity

key fingerprint of each Tor relay you control, even if they're on

different networks. You declare it here so Tor clients can avoid

using more than one of your relays in a single circuit. See

https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#MultipleRelays

#MyFamily $keyid,$keyid,...

However, as rransom pointed out to me, bridges should NEVER see their fingerprints set in the MyFamily setting.

rransom | DO NOT include a bridge's fingerprint in any Tor instance's MyFamily torrc line. rransom | Anyone can use a bridge's fingerprint to find its current TCP address.

This should be clearly enunciated both in the torrc file AND in the FAQ ( https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#MultipleRelays ) to be sure to avoid any user error.
