Technical bridge names shown in the UI

For the bridge grid in about:preferences we copy the bridge name as { $type } bridge, where type is whatever is at the start of the bridge line, which is a technical name. As a result, the UI can end up looking like

  1. snowflake bridge, rather than Snowflake bridge.
  2. meek_lite bridge, rather than meek bridge.

Should we intervene in these known cases, or is it ok to give these technical names?

Similarly, in the circuit display we show the first node as Bridge: { $type }, where type is the technical name. In this case though, it is maybe less of an issue because the technical information is separated by a colon. We can consider this as part of tpo/ux/design#152 though.
