Description
Suggest a new version of bi-directional throughput test, which runs iperf3 immediately followed by iperf3 -R in double the timeslot.
Advantages:
- works behind NAT
- send and receive are done at (almost) the same time, so drops in throughput are more easily correlated
- lead participant is your local node, so you get priority in the "friendlies" group
- archiving is done by the local node, so you're less dependent on the other end having up-to-date software
- only requires a single task in the scheduler: in that respect it's similar to #883, but without using a new version of iperf3

Research direction
Use issue #883 as the comparison point and inspect how the scheduler represents existing iperf3 tests. Define the single-task sequence and doubled timeslot described here, then verify that local archiving, NAT operation, and the send-then-receive behavior are covered before considering the work complete.
