Comment:

 Tiny but potentially fun bug:

 {{{
 +static int32_t max_circuit_cell_queue_size;
 }}}

 That starts it out at 0, right?

 So until the relay gets (or has) a consensus (e.g. because it just
 restarted and it's trying to bootstrap but somebody starts using it
 anyway), any circuits get closed if they get a cell?

 Maybe we should initialize it to RELAY_CIRC_CELL_QUEUE_SIZE_DEFAULT at the
 very start?

 Other than this one, looks great!
