    The man page has old minimal bandwidth requirements, let's update them to be consistent with the relay guide and the FAQ

    man page currently says: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual-dev.html.en#BandwidthRate " If you want to run a relay in the public network, this needs to be at the very least 75 KBytes for a relay (that is, 600 kbits) or 50 KBytes for a bridge (400 kbits)  but of course, more is better; we recommend at least 250 KBytes (2 mbits) if possible. "

    Proposed version for the man page: " If you want to run a relay in the public network, this needs to be at the very least 8 MBit/s (Mbps) for a relay or 1 MBit/s for a bridge   but of course, more is better; we recommend at least 16 MBit/s if possible. "

    FAQ values: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#HowDoIDecide relay guide: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#BandwidthandConnections
