Comment(by arma):

 Simple answer is for intermediate nodes, especially the entry guard, to
 check if they ever see a set of cells that's bigger than the circuit
 window should allow. If so, kill the circuit.

 (We might want to check a slightly higher number, like 1100, to leave some
 allowance for future design changes, and to leave some tolerance in case
 there are bugs -- we see (infrequent) warnings in relay logs about the
 #6252 fix, perhaps by non-conformant relays but who knows.)
