QR code scanning of Tor bridges

We made it easier to enter new Tor bridges in Tails by scanning a QR code.

To get a QR code, you can either:

Send an empty email to <bridges@torproject.org> from a Gmail or Riseup email address.

Get bridges from <https://bridges.torproject.org/> and print the QR code on paper.

We are aware that the QR codes that are currently provided are too big to be easy to scan. We are [working with Tor](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/bridgedb/-/issues/40052) to make them smaller and easier to scan.
