If it's `auto`, clients look at the consensus parameter. This will allow
individual users to test the feature before we deploy it everywhere.

OK. Please look at the `bug9321_draft` branch again. I implemented the
above concepts and wrote some unittests. Please review :)
FWIW, if the `UseGuardFraction` consensus/torrc parameter is disabled, we
are not going to apply any guardfraction information found in consensuses.
