Nick Mathewson 1b8ceb83c9 Improved circuit queue out-of-memory handler
Previously, when we ran low on memory, we'd close whichever circuits
had the most queued cells. Now, we close those that have the
*oldest* queued cells, on the theory that those are most responsible
for us running low on memory, and that those are the least likely to
actually drain on their own if we wait a little longer.

Based on analysis from a forthcoming paper by Jansen, Tschorsch,
Johnson, and Scheuermann. Fixes bug 9093.
