 Now that we have our scripts in #6232 extracting useful data, here's
 another graph that would be useful.

 On the x axis is our set of 900 Exit relays, ordered by chance of being
 chosen. f(x) is the chance that the user's selected exit is in the first
 (biggest) x relays.

 We'll likely find that we should zoom in on just the x \in [0..50] range
 or something, since otherwise the graph will just shoot up to 1.0 and stay
 there.

 Auto generating this graph for the current consensus, and sticking it near
 consensus-health, might be wise.

 Once we've done the basic graph, we might find that graphing f(10) over
 time tells us something interesting about #6232 (for various values of
 10).
