#6489: limit incoming / outgoing Tor client traffic / bandwidth

The manual only talks about limiting bandwidth for relays.
Tor clients, especially hidden servers do not have an option to limit
bandwidth or traffic. I am suggesting that feature.
Use cases:
* Tor user, especially hidden servers want to reserve some free non-Tor
bandwidth for other things (software downloads, updates, non-Tor browsing,
etc.).
* Tor user has a limited amount of traffic available in it's plan.
* DDoS protection.
* Workaround for #6473. (bandwidth related anonymity set reduction)
