Comment(by Sebastian):

 I agree that this fixes the case where we count cannibalized circs, but I
 don't think counting three and four-hop circuits, averaging the result and
 applying it to both types of circuits is what we want. We should maybe
 weight it somehow for the circuit length, or not count 4-hop timeouts and
 allow 4-hops 1 1/3 our timeout to complete
