 When we merged the #3630 code, we changed the token bucket refill interval
 from 1/s to 10/s.  We're now simulating whether this was a good choice in
 #4086.

 Roger suggests that we add a consensus parameter that relays use to
 override their default token bucket refill interval.  If we learn that
 10/s wasn't the best choice, we can easily change it for all relays.
 Also, a consensus parameter would enable us to run experiments in the live
 Tor network, within reasonable bounds.

 Thoughts?
