Detect bug 6252 (unexpected sendme cell)

I only check on circuits, not streams, since bloating your stream window past the initial circuit window can't help you much.

Also, I compare to CIRCWINDOW_START_MAX so we don't have surprising races if we lower CIRCWINDOW_START for an experiment. --- changes/bug6252 | 8 ++++++++ src/or/relay.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
