[tor-commits] [tor/master] Prevent hugely inflated observed bandwidth values

    Prevent hugely inflated observed bandwidth values
    
    When reading the bw history from the state file, we'd add the 900-second
    value as traffic that occured during one second. Fix that by adding the
    average value to each second.
    
    This bug was present since 0.2.0.5-alpha, but was hidden until
    0.2.23-alpha when we started using the saved values.
