A relay that self-reports high bandwidth values will get an inflated
consensus weight. I believe that TorFlow somehow uses the self-reported
values when producing a measurement result for a relay. We should fix
TorFlow so that it better handles self-reported values in order to prevent
a relay from accidentally or maliciously getting uncharacteristically high
consensus weights.
