18752bca5b Drop the minimum guard lifetime back down to one month
Mike believes that raising the default to 2 months with no way to lower
it may create horrible load-balancing issues.

343f7aa059 Make the guard lifetime configurable and adjustable via the consensus
Fixes 8240.

(Don't actually increase the default guard lifetime. It seems likely to
break too many things if done precipitiously.)

97dbff51e6 Update the minimum bandwidth for a public relay
The current cutoff is 30KB, but in reality a useful cutoff is probably
more like 50KB or 100KB.

b7c172c9ec Disable extending to private/internal addresses by default
This is important, since otherwise an attacker can use timing info
to probe the internal network.

Also, add an option (ExtendAllowPrivateAddresses) so that
TestingTorNetwork won't break.

Fix for bug 6710; bugfix on all released versions of Tor.

d9bd0de062 Fix some manpage typos
This is based on a pair of patches from A. Costa. I couldn't apply
those directly, since they changed the generated *roff files, not
the asciidoc source.

Fixes Tor bug 6500 and Debian bug 683359.

8d59690033 Defend against entry node path bias attacks
The defense counts the circuit failure rate for each guard for the past N
circuits. Failure is defined as the ability to complete a first hop, but not
finish completing the circuit all the way to the exit.

If the failure rate exceeds a certain amount, a notice is emitted.

If it exceeds a greater amount, a warn is emitted and the guard is disabled.

These values are governed by consensus parameters which we intend to tune as
we perform experiments and statistical simulations.

2d127eacd9 List defaults consistently in manpage
Nearly everywhere, we end options with "(Default: foo)".  But in a
few places, we inserted an extra period after or before the close
parenthesis, and in a few other places we said "(Defaults to foo)".
Let's not do that.

8a341cc429 Change the default for DynamicDHGroups to 0
This feature can make Tor relays less identifiable by their use of the
mod_ssl DH group, but at the cost of some usability (#4721) and bridge
tracing (#6087) regressions.

We should try to turn this on by default again if we find that the
mod_ssl group is uncommon and/or we move to a different DH group size
(see #6088).  Before we can do so, we need a fix for bugs #6087 and

Resolves ticket #5598 for now.
