  Description     : Backend infrastructure for ooniprobe

(via test helpers).

hellais ╡ irl: regarding ooni-backend, to create a sane configuration
you need to create some directories for it and adjust the default
configuration.
        ╡ namely the directories in here:
https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-backend/blob/master/oonib.conf.example#L2
        ╡ also when installing ooni-backend I would set it up in a way
that the bouncer is disabled, that just requires that you leave the
bouncer_file: null.
        ╡ the policy_file: null should also be set so that it doesn't
follow the mlab policy
    irl ╡ ok cool. I won't finish this today but ive started at least.
        ╡ will add those notes to the debian bug
