    Revert "Detect bug 6252 (unexpected sendme cell)"
    
    This reverts commit c32ec9c425e9539bcc8ede95612e2d331c2cc2dd.
    
    It turns out the two sides of the circuit don't actually stay in sync,
    so it is perfectly normal for the circuit window on the exit relay to
    grow to 2000+. We should fix that bug and then reconsider this patch.

-  o Security fixes:
-    - Tear down the circuit if we get an unexpected SENDME cell. Clients
-      could use this trick to make their circuits receive cells faster
-      than our flow control would have allowed, or to gum up the network,
-      or possibly to do targeted memory denial-of-service attacks on
-      entry nodes. Fixes bug 6252. Bugfix on the 54th commit on Tor --
-      from July 2002, before the release of Tor 0.0.0.
