4e85f17eec periodic: Add an enable and disable function
Two helper functions to enable an event and disable an event which wraps the
launch and destroy of an event but takes care of the enabled flag.

They are also idempotent that is can be called multiple time on the same event
without effect if the event was already enabled or disabled.

871ff0006d Add an API for a scheduled/manually activated event in the mainloop
Using this API lets us remove event2/event.h usage from half a dozen
modules, to better isolate libevent.  Implements part of ticket
23750.

aae034d13e Write a bunch of module documentation.
This commit adds or improves the module-level documenation for:

  buffers.c circuitstats.c command.c connection_edge.c control.c
  cpuworker.c crypto_curve25519.c crypto_curve25519.h
  crypto_ed25519.c crypto_format.c dircollate.c dirserv.c dns.c
  dns_structs.h fp_pair.c geoip.c hibernate.c keypin.c ntmain.c
  onion.c onion_fast.c onion_ntor.c onion_tap.c periodic.c
  protover.c protover.h reasons.c rephist.c replaycache.c
  routerlist.c routerparse.c routerset.c statefile.c status.c
  tor_main.c workqueue.c

In particular, I've tried to explain (for each documented module)
what each module does, what's in it, what the big idea is, why it
belongs in Tor, and who calls it.  In a few cases, I've added TODO
notes about refactoring opportunities.

I've also renamed an argument, and fixed a few DOCDOC comments.

265e40b481 Raise libevent dependency to 2.0.10-stable or newer
Only some very ancient distributions don't ship with Libevent 2 anymore,
even the oldest supported Ubuntu LTS version has it. This allows us to
get rid of a lot of compat code.

dd00fd0a1f Change periodic.c to use libevent directly
Libevent's periodic timers aren't the right solution when the
timeout potentially changes every time.

fbeff307f7 Infrastructure for replacing global periodic events in main.c
(This is from Kevin's bug3199 patch series; nick extracted it into
 a new file and changed the interface a little, then did some API
 tweaks on it.)
