Many places in our code assume that uint8_t is the same type as
unsigned char. Test this assumption in the configure script. This is
important because of the privileged aliasing properties of character
types in C.
Fixes#22410.
This adds a couple of configure commands to control whether we're
requiring all dependencies to be available locally (default) or not
(--enable-cargo-online-mode). When building from a tarball, we require
the RUST_DEPENDENCIES variable to point to the local repository of
crates. This also adds src/ext/rust as a git submodule that contains
such a local repository for easy setup.
Passing --enable-cargo-online-mode during configure allows cargo to make
network requests while building Tor or running tests. If this flag is
not supplied, the dependencies need to be available in the form of a
local mirror.
Introduce a way to optionally enable Rust integration for our builds. No
actual Rust code is added yet and specifying the flag has no effect
other than failing the build if rustc and cargo are unavailable.
This commit adds the src/trace directory containing the basics for our tracing
subsystem. It is not used in the code base. The "src/trace/debug.h" file
contains an example on how we can map our tor trace events to log_debug().
The tracing subsystem can only be enabled by tracing framework at compile
time. This commit introduces the "--enable-tracing-debug" option that will
make all "tor_trace()" function be maped to "log_debug()".
Closes#13802

This patch adds support for enabling support for Zstandard to our configure
script. By default, the --enable-zstd option is set to "auto" which means if
libzstd is available we'll build Tor with Zstandard support.

This patch adds support for enabling support for LZMA to our configure
script. By default, the --enable-lzma option is set to "auto" which
means if liblzma is available we'll build Tor with LZMA support.

This feature makes it possible to turn off memory sentinels (like
those used for safety in buffers.c and memarea.c) when fuzzing, so
that we can catch bugs that they would otherwise prevent.
Determining if OpenSSL structures are opaque now uses an autoconf check
instead of comparing the version number. Some definitions have been
moved to their own check as assumptions which were true for OpenSSL
with opaque structures did not hold for LibreSSL. Closes ticket 21359.
It is renamed to --enable-fragile-hardening.
TROVE-2017-001 was triggerable only through the expensive hardening which is
making the tor daemon abort when the issue is detected. Thus, it makes tor
more at risk of remote crashes but safer against RCE or heartbleed bug
category.
Fixes#21290.

Turning on warnings in Automake makes it complain about not using the
AM_PROG_AR macro. The AM_PROG_AR macro is required when LIBRARIES or
LTLIBRARIES is used.
The macro looks for an archiver and wraps it in the ar-lib script which
is automatically generated so Git should ignore it.
It makes the custom check for 'ar' obsolete so it is removed.
The AM_PROG_AR macro was added in Automake 1.11.2 thus the minimum
Automake version is increased.
