This policy first checks the stats and sorts the entries for which we have the highest nonzero success rate. Then, we use an underlying policy to produce additional suitable tactics for the HTTPS dialer.
There is a check preventing the same tactic from being emitted twice. This means that, if we emit a tactic looking into the stats, we're not going to emit the same exact tactic again when using our beacons policy generator.
Also, because we try using stable sorting, and assuming some tactics work, we would most likely continue using the tactics that work, until something bad happens and we need to try and see whether other tactics work.
While there, rename statstracker{,_test}.go to statsmanager{,_test}.go because the type inside it is called "state manager". The state tracker is an abstract concept only used by the https dialer code.
