Detailed Description

feature/hibernate: Bandwidth accounting and hibernation (!)

This module implements two features that are only somewhat related, and should probably be separated in the future. One feature is bandwidth accounting (making sure we use no more than so many gigabytes in a day) and hibernation (avoiding network activity while we have used up all/most of our configured gigabytes). The other feature is clean shutdown, where we stop accepting new connections for a while and give the old ones time to close.

The two features are related only in the sense that "soft hibernation" (being almost out of ) is very close to the "shutting down" state. But it would be better in the long run to make the two completely separate.
