Comment (by nickm):

 I think you're asking why there is only one check in
 `record_num_bytes_transferred_impl()` before the check on
 `connection_is_rate_limited()`.

 I think that the rationale for doing it this way is that all of our
 tunneled directory connections would otherwise seem to be local, since
 they are tunneled.  But we do want to count them _as_ directory usage, to
 answer the question of "how much directory bandwidth are we using for
 what"?
