 We should add a heartbeat message to obfsproxy that says how long it's
 running and that gives a connection count.  That's a good feedback for
 operators, and it's a safer way to get ''some'' stats on obfsproxy usage
 that operators can report to us.

 The next iteration would be to include unique addresses of connecting
 clients.  And then we might want to add a GeoIP database and report both
 connections and unique IPs by country.  But that's the future.
