These options override the default behavior of Tor's (**currently
experimental**) path bias detection algorithm. To try to find broken or

+ The PathBiasCircThreshold option controls how many circuits we need to build
through a guard before we make these checks. The PathBiasNoticeRate,
PathBiasWarnRate and PathBiasExtremeRate options control what fraction of
circuits must succeed through a guard so we won't write log messages.
