#3284: Make the new Torperf generate the new .mergedata output directly
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

     Type:  enhancement  |         Status:  new  
 Priority:  normal       |      Milestone:       
Component:  Torperf      |        Version:       
 Keywords:               |         Parent:  #2565

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Once we have finished #3283, we should get rid of the crazy separation of
 .data and .extradata files and just output a single .mergedata file
 ourselves.  This output format could be like the one described in #3036.
 Implementing this ticket means rewriting most of the logic in
 `consolidate_stats.py`, but the merging takes place live while
 measurements are running as opposed to offline.  The output of all Torperf
 runs can go into the same .mergedata file; results can be attributed to a
 specific Torperf run by the contained meta data keys like FILESIZE,
 SOURCE, GUARDS, and CBT.

 Once this ticket is implemented, we should consider closing #3036, too.

 Assigning to tomb upon request.
