#29130: Work out how to handle multiple reports from the same relay in PrivCount

------------------------------+------------------------------
What do we do in PrivCount if the same relay reports twice?
This can happen if:
* multiple relays share the same keys, or
* a relay forgets that it has reported, so it reports again
We need a way for the tally reporters to check if they have consistent
data from each relay.
We could do a validation round, where we check that ZeroCount is 0, and
RelayCount is 1. These values are constants, so the validation round has
no privacy implications.
