 This summer, Mashael, Kevin et al published the Defenestrator paper, where
 they proposed the N23 algorithm to improve Tor's flow control.

 They did their simulations using ExperimenTor, and the paper says "we use
 the latest development branch of the Tor source code (version 0.2.3.0
 -alpha-dev)".

 We should get a copy of their patch, and then update it to apply cleanly
 to current git.

 Then we'll have a common ground for the N23 simulations in #4486 and
 #4487.
