[tor-relays] Relay Bandwidth Limit

[Eddie]

I was never able to get the other bandwidth shaping parameters in tor to 
work how I wanted.

So, for my bandwidth limited server, I ended up loading "wondershaper" 
so I could provide a limited bandwidth continuously throughout the month 
instead of an on/off/on/off/... connection.

Cheers.
