Comment(by mikeperry):

 We really need to use the keyword "Unmeasured" for this branch + the spec
 + Torflow, so that when we talk amongst ourselves and to researchers about
 this type of capping, there is no ambiguity.

 I'm now pretty convinced this is not merely a bikeshed concern. We already
 have a hell of a time talking about all the different types of "weights"
 with researchers and others who are new to tor. We shouldn't compound this
 by also overloading the term "capping", too.

 Similarly, the cap itself should be called "maxunmeasuredbw" rather than
 "maxuncappedbw" or some other word involving capping.
