 Tor 0.3.1.1-alpha will reduce the default for the cbttestfreq consensus
 parameter from 60 to 10 (see #17592).

 Currently the directory authorities vote 60 for it, for robustness against
 a small number of dir auths choosing a harmful number.

 We should consider changing our param votes to 10, to match the upcoming
 code.
