 Tor has a bunch of weird bugs when it runs out of disk space.

 One of the crazy ones that has been driving us mad for more than a decade
 is that relays somehow decide to start publishing a new descriptor once
 per second, forever.

 Can we make a version of the unit tests where all of the disk interactions
 act like the disk is full?

 Can we make a version of the chutney network tests where the disk pretends
 to be full?

 This idea seems like a great one to add to our testing toolbelt.
