 What do we do in PrivCount if the same relay reports twice?

 This can happen if:
 * multiple relays share the same keys, or
 * a relay forgets that it has reported, so it reports again

 We need a way for the tally reporters to check if they have consistent
 data from each relay.

 We could do a validation round, where we check that ZeroCount is 0, and
 RelayCount is 1. These values are constants, so the validation round has
 no privacy implications.
