Comment (by teor):

 It was used to measure relay CPU load by ensuring that the first
 connection fails if the relay's CPU is heavily loaded and it can't process
 create cells.

 I bet that probably doesn't work the same way it used to, and even if it
 does, the client default and consensus default are both to use create
 cells anyway.

 So we can safely remove this option, or ignore it, and bwauth behaviour
 won't change, at least in 0.3.1 once #21407 is merged.
