It would be really nice to have statistics on the min/max/average number
of simultaneous channels (TCP/IP connections) a relay is servicing for a
few reasons:
* If we are to add per-channel padding like in #16861 (or something more
aggressive like people discuss), we need this to figure out how much extra
bandwidth a relay will use, and possibly for parameter tuning.
* This information will be helpful in determining if someone can/should
run a relay, given their environment (Eg: To figure out if their relay
will end up underutilized/bad for the network due to NAT connection
table/OS limitations).
I'm uncertain as to how coarse grained this will need to be, particularly
for Guards. Bridges **SHOULD NOT** report this information.
