When we switched to consensus method 12, we lost the threshold of votes
required to set CircuitPriorityHalflifeMsec in the consensus. So EWMA has
been off.
Is this actually bad? Recent preliminary results from Shadow and
ExperimenTor show that the ewma circ priority feature is actually not
helpful.
In any case, we should make an explicit decision rather than just getting
dumped into the current situation.
