[tor-relays] Overloaded state indicator on relay-search

[friendlyexitnode]

This looks like an awesome feature! I super appreciate it.

Random question though (and I'm the first to admit I may be doing something wrong), I notice that on Mobile it says my relays are overloaded however when I view it on a normal computer I don't get the overloaded indicator. I've tried refreshing multiple times but getting the same results. Is anyone seeing the same thing?
