#58: Maximise number of STH's published per time unit

 Logs can mount a fingerprinting attack against clients by issuing separate
 STH's for clients the wish to track.

 This could be thwarted by the standard stipulating a maximum number of
 STH's that a log is allowed to issue per time unit before it is considered
 bad. Monitors should be able to detect if a log ignores this limitation.

 A fair figure might be max one STH per hour, unless someone sees a need
 for a higher frequency.

 Implementation wise, you might want this to be configurable for debugging
 purposes.
