commit d4f4108601fe7e2614f30055ff5abe00460f6a12
Author: Alexander Færøy <ahf at torproject.org>

Add MainloopStats option.
This patch adds support for MainloopStats that allow developers to get
main event loop statistics via Tor's heartbeat status messages. The new
status log message will show how many succesful, erroneous, and idle
event loop iterations we have had.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/24605
