Traffic shaping #18

Thanks for the high quality RPMs. It's nice to see how the bitcoin-server package makes good use of SELinux and systemd.

I've found that I have to use traffic shaping to prevent the bitcoin server from consuming too much of my upload bandwidth. For this, I'm using an adjusted version of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/qos/tc.sh which I run manually when the server starts. Maybe optional traffic shaping could be part of the bitcoin-server package?

This has some site-specific stuff that needs to be customized before use, so I don't think it would be appropriate for us to load it automatically, but I do think it would be a good idea to ship the script with the RPM, so that people have the opportunity to use it.
