Comment:

 To consider: Looks pretty plausible, but I'm still worried by having
 circuits that are potentially immortal, where dirtiness simply never
 matters.  We'd be losing the property that, after enough time has passed,
 you can be sure that old stuff isn't going on the same circuits you're
 still using.

 Minor tweaks needed: the documentation for timestamp_dirty and
 MaxCircuitDirtiness need to get fixed to match the new behavior.
