 {{{
     if (connection_or_digest_is_known_relay(chan->identity_digest))
 rep_hist_note_circuit_handshake_requested(create_cell->handshake_type);
 }}}

 They don't count it if the request came from a client. That's bad because
 it undercounts, but also good because I didn't have to wonder what the
 privacy implications were of keeping and publishing this stuff (especially
 if we ever move forward with the plans of putting these numbers in
 extrainfo descriptors).

 So it's pretty pointless for bridges to collect the stats, since hopefully
 they won't count anything.

 See also #9658 which seems related to this ticket towards the end.
