    We simplified this code a while back and forgot to update the spec.

    We attempt to detect both network connectivity loss and drastic
    changes in the timeout characteristics.
 
-   We assume that we've had network connectivity loss if 3 circuits
-   timeout and we've received no cells or TLS handshakes since those
-   circuits began. We then temporarily set the timeout to 60 seconds
-   and stop counting timeouts.

-   If 3 more circuits timeout and the network still has not been

-   the previous timeouts during this period from our history.

    To detect changing network conditions, we keep a history of
    the timeout or non-timeout status of the past 20 circuits that
