Make a tool that sends bandwidth to relays stuck with low measurements

Some relays get stuck in a low bandwidth authority bucket, and never get out. And their self-measurement isn't enough to unstick them (#22453 (moved)).

So we want a tool that sends traffic through relays with low consensus weight, ideally enough to guarantee them the Fast flag (at which point, the client bandwidth allocation and network measurement take over).

It would be nice to just send drop cells.

But I think we can do this using stem and tor and some URL downloading library.

Sticking this in "Torflow" because that's where it might end up. But maybe it would be better in its own component eventually.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
