- client: change the way upload/download throughput

estimates are maintained.
	The old way took concurrency into account but ignored compression;
	the new way does the converse.
- client: maintain new stat: recent average transfer rates.
	This track average up/down throughputs
	(over wall clock time, not just while xfers are active)
	with a half-life of 1 day.
	Will eventually add a new pref: don't fetch new work if
	either of these is above a threshold

// NET_STATS estimates average network throughput,

// Here's how it works: NET_STATS::poll() is called every second or so.
// If there are any file transfers active,
// it increments elapsed time and byte counts,

//
// NET_STATUS keeps track of whether we have a physical connection,
