 In the distant past, weasel put in a feature where clients would track
 number of bytes they receive by what category of directory information,
 and then you could query the current sums via the dirport ("GET
 /tor/bytes.txt"). It went into 0.2.1.1-alpha I think (see git commits
 01c1a355 and 716558a), but it didn't get a changelog entry or a trac
 ticket, and also it only works {{{#if defined(INSTRUMENT_DOWNLOADS) ||
 defined(RUNNING_DOXYGEN)}}}.

 I don't think anybody is using it now, and nobody in the Montreal Meeting
 wanted to keep it, so it looks like we should simplify by removing it.

 I am cc'ing weasel since it was his feature originally, and now he can
 speak up in favor of its life if he wants.
