Comment(by mikeperry):

 I like the idea of making it configurable, perhaps as a consensus
 parameter. I'll add that in the final version. I don't think we need to
 hold off on exhaustive studies though. We should just pick bounds high
 enough that we're sure they're bad news if they actually happen. I think
 the best study will be just to run it for a while and see what the results
 look like for guards and bridges.

 At a later date, we can potentially use #5459 to discover tighter
 consensus params if we really wish.

 Also, I forgot to mention that I've tested the functionality of the patch
 and it does appear to at least properly accumulate stats, and properly
 save and restore stats.
