[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.4.5] relay: Double the size of the relay reentry set



commit 98590621bb49cbecd601085f7e03697f8783ff7b

    relay: Double the size of the relay reentry set
    
    This is to minimize false positive and thus deny reentry to Exit connections
    that were in reality not re-entering. Helps with overall UX.
