Changes (by teor):

 * keywords:  regression => regression, CoreTorTeam201611
 * status:  needs_review => new
 * version:   => Tor: 0.2.9.1-alpha


Comment:

 So, in summary, here are the 3 changes I think resolve #20499, by making
 the exponential backoff schedules much more like the 0.2.8 schedules:
 * adjust max_increment to be `delay*5`, which makes the exponent `(1+5)/2
 = 3`
 * make the first entry in
 ClientBootstrapConsensusAuthorityDownloadSchedule 6
 * make the first entry in TestingBridgeDownloadSchedule 1200
