Once we merge #3630, we will start refilling our token buckets 100 times a
second rather than once a second.
In theory, this feature should magnify the effect of the
CircuitPriorityHalflife config option, as well as generally smoothing our
TCP flows between relays.
It could have surprising adverse effects though, such as making all of our
network writes be one cell long (plus IP, TCP, TLS, and MTU overhead).
So the task here is to run simulated Tor networks with various
combinations of these config options, at various bandwidth rates, and see
if there are sweet spots, surprising bad combinations, etc.
For example, should the TokenBucketRefillInterval value be a function of
our available bandwidth?
