Prevent hugely inflated observed bandwidth values

When reading the bw history from the state file, we'd add the 900-second
value as traffic that occured during one second. Fix that by adding the
average value to each second.

This bug was present since 0.2.0.5-alpha, but was hidden until
0.2.23-alpha when we started using the saved values.

- Prevent relays that read their bandwidth history from their state file
from arbitrarily inflating that value. Fixes the second half of bug
2704, bugfix on tor-0.2.2.23-alpha.
