 comment:22:ticket:28693 and see if we need to add a torrc option for
 reduced padding as well?  If not, let's merge ready this.

 I think that was just a random cypherpunk. The branch provides both
 CircuitPadding and ReducedCircuitPadding torrc options already, and has
 unit tests for them. I asked for clarification on that ticket from them,
 but I don't expect to get any.
