parameterize bw cutoffs to guarantee Fast and Guard flags

Now it will be easier for researchers to simulate Tor networks with
different values. Resolves ticket 4484.

+  o Minor features:
+    - Add two new config options for directory authorities:
+      AuthDirFastGuarantee sets a bandwidth threshold for guaranteeing the
+      Fast flag, and AuthDirGuardBWGuarantee sets a bandwidth threshold
+      that is always sufficient to satisfy the bandwidth requirement for
+      the Guard flag. Now it will be easier for researchers to simulate
+      Tor networks with different values. Resolves ticket 4484.
