Tolerate a little skew in accounting intervals.

This will make changes for DST still work, and avoid double-spending
bytes when there are slight changes to configurations.

Fixes bug 1511; the DST issue is a bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.

o Minor bugfixes:
- Tolerate skew in stored vs computed interval starts for bandwidth
accounting. Now, if we change our configuration so that the start
of the period changes by no more than 50% of the period's duration,
we remember bytes that we transferred in the old one. The upshot
of this is that daylight savings time should no longer mess up
bandwidth accounting and make each period potentially happen
twice. Fixes bug 1511; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
