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.
Closes ticket 14882. Patch by "robgjansen".

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.
The code was always in our Ed25519 wrappers, so enable it when using
the ed25519-donna backend, and deal with the mocking related
crypto_rand silliness.
Implements feature 16533.
When we removed Running/Valid checks from Fast and Stable in 8712, I
removed them from HSDir too, which apparently wasn't a good idea.
Reverts part of a65e835800. Fixes bug 16524. Bugfix
on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
microdesc_free_() called get_microdesc_cache(), which had the fun
side-effect of potentially reloading the whole cache from disk.
Replace it with a variant that doesn't.
If setrlimit() failed, max_out wasn't set in set_max_file_descriptors()
ending in a state where we don't use ULIMIT_BUFFER for things like tor
private key files.
Also fix the set_max_file_descriptors() documentation.
Fixes#16274

According to POSIX, the mutex must be locked by the thread calling the signal
functions to ensure predictable scheduling behavior.
Found the issue using Helgrind which gave the warning `dubious: associated lock
is not held by any thread`.
The control port was using set_max_file_descriptors() with a limit set to 0
to query the number of maximum socket Tor can use. With the recent changes
to that function, a check was introduced to make sure a user can not set a
value below the amount we reserved for non socket.
This commit adds get_max_sockets() that returns the value of max_sockets so
we can stop using that "setter" function to get the current value.
Finally, the dead code is removed that is the code that checked for limit
equal to 0. From now on, set_max_file_descriptors() should never be used
with a limit set to 0 for a valid use case.
