Comment(by andrea):

 Notes on implementation:

 The flags are set in set_routerstatus_from_routerinfo(), which calls
 dirserv_get_bandwidth_for_router() directly and through
 dirserv_thinks_router_is_unreliable().  We should modify that function to
 check if it should trust advertised bandwidths, or perhaps call a new
 dirserv_get_trusted_bandwidth_for_router().  When in constructing a vote
 does set_routerstatus_from_routerinfo() get called?  We may need a prepass
 to count how many nodes have measured bandwidth and decide whether to
 require it first.
