 `AccountingRule max` is often used for services that actually only charge
 for bandwidth out, such as AWS.

 There may also be services that only charge for bandwidth in, although it
 seems somewhat unlikely. However, it should be included for completeness.

 The current `AccountingRule max` and `AccountingRule sum` implementation
 assumes that an increase in outgoing bandwidth always increases the amount
 being measured. Therefore, it disabes the `DirPort` when `AccountingMax`
 is in effect.

 It might make sense to only do this for AccountingRules max, sum, and out;
 and not for AccountingRule in.
