Comment:

 Ok, here is a branch that refactors all of our features along the
 monotime-related codepaths. With this branch, if machines specify
 CIRCPAD_TOKEN_REMOVAL_NONE and also set use_rtt_estimate=0, then they
 won't use any monotime calls at all:
 https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/1007

 asn and I have also established that the machines in #28634 don't need
 these features; future revisions of that branch will cease using them.
