Comment:

 FYI: This commit implements the ideas in the description:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/mikeperry/tor.git/commit/?h=netflow_padding-v3-squashed&id=86f950da4675a4c247236dc352bbeb3408f040eb

 I chose not to mess with channel_tls_matches_target_method() because of
 the issues in comment:1.

 I've tested it a bit in chutney. It seems to be behaving sanely. If this
 looks ok to do, I will bang on it harder and do some more thorough chutney
 testing.
