bridges (especially unpublished ones) should include usage info in their heartbeats

As part of SponsorJ task 2, we're running some fast unpublished bridges. Since they're unpublished, we have no way to learn how much usage they see. We should at least log them so the operators can send us the log snippets over time.

As a side benefit, logging will help the bridge operators who don't use Vidalia/arm and wonder whether their bridge is being helpful.

Bumping to 0.2.5, along with other remaining noncritical enhancements.

Milestone: Tor: 0.2.4.x-final to Tor: 0.2.5.x-final

Don't we already do this in:

  log_fn(LOG_NOTICE, LD_HEARTBEAT, "Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is %s, with %d "
         "circuits open. I've sent %s and received %s.",
         uptime, count_circuits(),bw_sent,bw_rcvd);

what else would you like to see? Maybe unique IP counter?

I was thinking the output of getinfo status/clients-seen

(I'm currently working on this ticket and testing it on my bridge. Just mentioning it, so that we don't do duplicate work.)

I wrote some code for this: https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/asn/tor.git/commitdiff/05f8fd2878e1b85822c126c0206f8b8929556868

You can find the code at branch bug6852_bug in https://git.torproject.org/user/asn/tor.git.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug somewhere and the counter does not reset after 24 (WRITE_STATS_INTERVAL) hours as it should. It resets after 47 hours or so. I haven't managed to find the bug yet, but I hope to revisit this in a couple of days. I'm posting the branch in case anyone else is interested in working on this till then.
