 Document better how EntryGuardAddedBy date is calculated and wroten in the
 state file (well, more documentation about all the state file would be
 also good).
 Change also the way the date is calculated?

 The EntryGuardAddedBy dates in the state file are not sequential because
 the date is calculated as the real date minus a random date between the
 real and 30 days before  [1].
 The reason for this is to don't reveal the real date the user was online
 at that date to that entry guard.

 The only existent documentation is in doc/state-contents.txt


 [1]         e->chosen_on_date = time(NULL) - crypto_rand_int(3600*24*30);
