Closes ticket 20908.
- Allow 3 fallbacks per operator. (This is safe now we are choosing 200
fallbacks.) Closes ticket 20912.
+ - Reduce the minimum fallback bandwidth to 1 MByte/s.
+ Part of #18828.
o Minor bugfix (fallback directories):
- Stop failing when OUTPUT_COMMENTS is True in updateFallbackDirs.py.
Closes ticket 20877; bugfix on commit 9998343 in tor-0.2.8.3-alpha.
