[tor-relays] Middle Relay changed to Exit Relay Bandwidth Change

[Tristan]

It's very normal for exit relays to pick up *much *more traffic than middle
or guard. Because exit relays have to deal with the abuse complaints of Tor
users, there are much fewer exit relays than middle and guard:

Even though there is plenty of bandwidth in the Tor network (

exit vs non-exit relays causes exit relays to have much more traffic.
