Nick Mathewson 463f6628d3 Give each or_connection_t a slightly randomized idle_timeout
Instead of killing an or_connection_t that has had no circuits for
the last 3 minutes, give every or_connection_t a randomized timeout,
so that an observer can't so easily infer from the connection close
time the time at which its last circuit closed.

Also, increase the base timeout for canonical connections from 3
minutes to 15 minutes.

Fix for ticket 6799.

o Major features:
- Increate the base amount of time that a canonical connection
(one that we have made to a known OR) is allowed to stay open
from a 3 minutes to 15 minutes. This leaks less information
about when circuits have closed, and avoids unnecessary overhead
from renegotiating connections. Part of a fix for ticket 6799.
- Instead of closing connections at a fixed interval after their
last circuit closed, randomly add up to 50% to each connection's
maximum timout. This makes it harder to tell when the last
circuit closed by looking at when a connection closes. Part of a
fix for ticket 6799.
