[metrics-team] Request for new metric: usage by time of day

I'd like to put in a vote for a graph that shows the total amount of
traffic going through the tor network by time of day and day of the week.

That would help me decide how important it is that I leave my tor relay
running during the hours I need that bandwidth for myself the most. For
example, if I see everyone using tor at 8PM in my timezone, I'll be more
willing to keep my tor relay running even if that's when I'm trying to
watch a movie.

It would also help me understand if my tor connection is slow because of
global bandwidth reasons, or rather it's just me who's got a bad connection
or bad circuit. I could answer the question "tor is slow for me right now;
is tor supposed to be slow at 3am on a thursday?" and then plan my tor
usage according to the least active times of days.
