This adds a bit more to hs_descriptor/test_decode_descriptor, mostly
testing pow-params and triggering the tor_assert() in issue #40793.
There was no mechanism for adding arbitrary test strings to the
encrypted portion of the desc without duplicating encode logic. One
option might be to publicize get_inner_encrypted_layer_plaintext enough
to add a mock implementation. In this patch I opt for what seems like
the simplest solution, at the cost of a small amount of #ifdef noise.
The unpacked descriptor grows a new test-only member that's used for
dropping arbitrary data in at encode time.

The descriptor validation table had an out of date minimum length
for pow-params (3) whereas the spec and the current code expect at
least 4 parameters. This was an opportunity for a malicious service
to cause an assert failure in clients which attempted to parse its
descriptor.

This should fix one of the warnings in issue #40792.
I was sloppy with freeing memory in the failure cases for
test_crypto_hashx. ASAN didn't notice but coverity did. Okay, I'll eat
my vegetables and put hashx_ctx's deinit in an upper scope and use
'goto done' correctly like a properly diligent C programmer.

This addresses one of the warnings in issue #40792. As far as I can tell
this is a false positive, since the use of "ctx->type" in hashx_free()
can only be hit after the unioned code/program pointer is non-NULL. It's
no big deal to zero this value explicitly to silence the warning though.

Switch rate limiting will likely be helpful for limiting OOQ, but according to
shadow it was the cause of slower performance in Hong Kong endpoints.
So let's disable it, and then optimize for OOQ later.
This is a protocol breaking change that implements nickm's
changes to prop 327 to add an algorithm personalization string
and blinded HS id to the EquiX challenge string for our onion
service client puzzle.
This corresponds with the spec changes in torspec!130,
and it fixes a proposed vulnerability documented in
ticket tor#40789.
Clients and services prior to this patch will no longer
be compatible with the proposed "v1" proof-of-work protocol.

This error path with the "PoW cpuworker returned with no solution.
Will retry soon." message was usually lying. It's concerning
now because we expect to always find a solution no matter how
long it takes, rather than re-enter the solver repeatedly, so any
exit without a solution is a sign of a problem.
In fact when this error path gets hit, we are usually missing a
circuit instead because the request is quite old and the circuits
have been destroyed. This is not an emergency, it's just a sign
of client-side overload.

This dequeue path has been through a few revisions by now, first
limiting us to a fixed number per event loop callback, then an
additional limit based on a token bucket, then the current version
which has only the token bucket.
The thinking behing processing multiple requests per callback was to
optimize our usage of libevent, but in effect this creates a
prioritization problem. I think even a small fixed limit would be less
reliable than just backing out this optimization and always allowing
other callbacks to interrupt us in-between dequeues.
With this patch I'm seeing much smoother queueing behavior when I add
artificial delays to the main thread in testing.

This centralizes the logic for deciding on these magic thresholds,
and tries to reduce them to just two: a min and max. The min should be a
"nearly empty" threshold, indicating that the queue only contains work
we expect to be able to complete very soon. The max level triggers a
bulk culling process that reduces the queue to half that amount.
This patch calculates both thresholds based on the torrc pqueue rate
settings if they're present, and uses generic defaults if the user asked
for an unlimited dequeue rate in torrc.

The worker job queue for hs_pow needs what's effectively a weak pointer
to two circuits, but there's not a generic mechanism for this in c-tor.
The previous approach of circuit_get_by_global_id() is straightforward
but not efficient. These global IDs are normally only used by the
control port protocol. To reduce the number of O(N) lookups we have over
the whole circuit list, we can use hs_circuitmap to look up the rend
circuit by its auth cookie.

This is trying to be an AIMD event-driven algorithm, but we ended up with
two different add paths with diverging behavior. This fix makes the AIMD
events more explicit, and it fixes an earlier behavior where the effort
could be decreased (by the add/recalculate branch) even when the pqueue
was not emptying at all. With this patch we shouldn't drop down to an
effort of zero as long as even low-effort attacks are flooding the
pqueue.

The goal of this patch is to add an additional mechanism for adjusting
PoW effort upwards, where clients rather than services can choose to
solve their puzzles at a higher effort than what was suggested in the
descriptor.
I wanted to use hs_cache's existing unreachability stats to drive this
effort bump, but this revealed some cases where a circuit (intro or
rend) closed early on can end up in hs_cache with an all zero intro
point key, where nobody will find it. This moves intro_auth_pk
initialization earlier in a couple places and adds nonfatal asserts to
catch the problem if it shows up elsewhere.
The actual effort adjustment method I chose is to multiply the suggested
effort by (1 + unresponsive_count), then ensure the result is at least
1. If a service has suggested effort of 0 but we fail to connect,
retries will all use an effort of 1. If the suggestion was 50, we'll try
50, 100, 150, 200, etc. This is bounded both by our client effort limit
and by the limit on unresponsive_count (currently 5).

Asan catches this pretty readily when ending a service gracefully while
a DoS is in progress and the queue is full of items that haven't yet
timed out.
The module boundaries in hs_circuit are quite fuzzy here, but I'm trying
to follow the vibe of the existing hs_pow code.

500 was quite low, but this limit was helpful when the suggested-effort
estimation algorithm was likely to give us large abrupt increases. Now
that this should be fixed, let's allow spending a bit more time on the
client puzzles if it's actually necessary.
Solving a puzzle with effort=10000 usually completes within a minute
on my old x86_64 machine. We may want to fine tune this further, and it
should probably be made into a config option.

I don't think the concept of "minimum effort" is really useful to us,
so this patch removes it entirely and consequentially changes the way
that "total" effort is calculated so that we don't rely on any minimum
and we instead ramp up effort no faster than necessary.
If at least some portion of the attack is conducted by clients that
avoid PoW or provide incorrect solutions, those (potentially very
cheap) attacks will end up keeping the pqueue full. Prior to this patch,
that would cause suggested efforts to be unnecessarily high, because
rounding these very cheap requests up to even a minimum of 1 will
overestimate how much actual attack effort is being spent.
The result is that this patch is a simplification and it also allows a
slower start, where PoW effort jumps up either by a single unit or by an
amount calculated from actual effort in the queue.

This fixes a failure that was showing up on i386 Debian hosts

This is more consistent with the specification, and it's much
less confusing with endianness. This resolves the underlying
cause of the earlier byte-swap. This patch itself does not
change the wire protocol at all, it's just tidying up the
types we use at the trunnel layer.

We were using a native uint128_t to represent the hs_pow nonce,
but as the comments note it's more portable and more flexible to
use a byte array. Indeed the uint128_t was a problem for 32-bit
platforms. This swaps in a new implementation that uses multiple
machine words to implement the nonce incrementation.

In proposal 327, "POW_SEED is the first 4 bytes of the seed used".
The proposal doesn't specifically mention the data type of this field,
and the code in hs_pow so far treats it as an integer but semantically
it's more like the first four bytes of an already-encoded little endian
blob. This leads to a byte swap, since the type confusion takes place
in a little-endian subsystem but the wire encoding of seed_head uses
tor's default of big endian.
This patch does not address the underlying type confusion, it's a
minimal change that only swaps the byte order and updates unit tests
accordingly. Further changes will clean up the data types.
