Mike Perry cc52f7e5b7 Bug 40897 Bug Bounty: Double the number of max conflux circs
We strongly suspect that bug 40897 was caused by a custom Tor client that
tried to use more than the default number of conflux circuits, for either
performance or traffic analysis defense gains, or both.

This entity hit a safety check on the exit side, which caused a UAF. Our
"belt and suspenders" snapped off, and hit us in the face... again...

Since there are good reasons to try more than 2 conflux legs, and research has
found some traffic analysis benefits with as many as 5, we're going to raise
and parameterize this limit as a form of bug bounty for finding this UAF, so
that this entity can try out a little more confluxing.

This should also make it easier for researchers to try things like gathering
traces with larger amounts of confluxing than normal, to measure real-world
traffic analysis impacts of conflux.

Shine on, you yoloing anonymous diamond. Let us know if you find out anything
interesting!
