In previous versions of Tor, ExitPolicy accept6/reject6 * produced
policy entries for IPv4 and IPv6 wildcard addresses.
To reduce operator confusion, change accept6/reject6 * to only produce
an IPv6 wildcard address.
Resolves bug #16069.
Patch on 2eb7eafc9d and a96c0affcb (25 Oct 2012),
released in 0.2.4.7-alpha.
Tor now warns when ExitPolicy lines occur after accept/reject *:*
or variants. These lines are redundant, and were always ignored.

Patch on 2eb7eafc9d and a96c0affcb (25 Oct 2012),
released in 0.2.4.7-alpha.
When parsing torrc ExitPolicies, we now warn if:
* an IPv4 address is used on an accept6 or reject6 line. The line is
ignored, but the rest of the policy items in the list are used.
(accept/reject continue to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in torrcs.)
* a "private" address alias is used on an accept6 or reject6 line.
The line filters both IPv4 and IPv6 private addresses, disregarding
the 6 in accept6/reject6.
When parsing torrc ExitPolicies, we now issue an info-level message:
* when expanding an accept/reject * line to include both IPv4 and IPv6
wildcard addresses.
In each instance, usage advice is provided to avoid the message.

This controls the circuit dirtyness reset behavior added for Tor
Browser's user experience fix (#15482). Unlike previous iterations
of this patch, the tunable actually works, and is documented.
(These inputs are possible when Shadow starts the world at time_t 0,
and breaks our assumption that Tor didn't exist in the 1970s.)
Fixes regression introduced in 241e6b09. Fixes#16980.
In a nutshell, since a circuit can not exit at its entry point, it's very
easy for an attacker to find the hidden service guard if only one EntryNodes
is specified since for that guard, the HS will refuse to build a rendezvous
circuit to it.
For now, the best solution is to stop tor to allow a single EntryNodes for
an hidden service.
Fixes#14917

Make "bridges+hs" the default test network. This tests almost all
tor functionality during make test-network, while allowing tests
to succeed on non-IPv6 systems.
Requires chutney commit 396da92 in test-network-bridges-hs.
Closes tickets 16945 (tor), 16946 (chutney) . Patches by "teor".
Previously we'd put these strings right on the controllers'
outbufs. But this could cause some trouble, for these reasons:
1) Calling the network stack directly here would make a huge portion
of our networking code (from which so much of the rest of Tor is
reachable) reachable from everything that potentially generated
controller events.
2) Since _some_ events (EVENT_ERR for instance) would cause us to
call connection_flush(), every control_event_* function would
appear to be able to reach even _more_ of the network stack in
our cllgraph.
3) Every time we generated an event, we'd have to walk the whole
connection list, which isn't exactly fast.
This is an attempt to break down the "blob" described in
http://archives.seul.org/tor/dev/Mar-2015/msg00197.html -- the set of
functions from which nearly all the other functions in Tor are
reachable.
Closes ticket 16695.
"option to prevent guard,exit,hsdir flag assignment"
"A node will never receive the corresponding flag unless
that node is specified in the
TestingDirAuthVote{Exit,Guard,HSDir} list, regardless of
its uptime, bandwidth, exit policy, or DirPort".
Patch modified by "teor": VoteOnHidServDirectoriesV2
is now obsolete, so TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir always
votes on HSDirs.

This probably requires the user to manually set CFLAGS, but should
result in a net gain on 32 bit x86. Enabling SSE2 support would be
possible on x86_64, but will result in slower performance.
Implements feature #16535.
Instead of having it call update_all_descriptor_downloads and
update_networkstatus_downloads directly, we can have it cause them to
get rescheduled and called from run_scheduled_events.
Closes ticket 16789.
