 Very soon, Tor relays and bridges will increase their bandwidth statistics
 reporting interval from 4 to 24 hour intervals (#23856). We had a similar
 situation with the increase from 15 minutes to 4 hours 2.5 years ago
 (#14984). We'll have to handle this case similarly.

 In theory, this change shouldn't cause any trouble. But if we want to be
 extra sure we could rewrite some descriptors and feed them into Onionoo
 (and maybe even other tools) and make sure that nothing breaks.
