It's increasingly apparent that we want to make sure we initialize our
PRNG nice and early, or else OpenSSL will do it for us. (OpenSSL
doesn't do _too_ bad a job, but it's nice to do it ourselves.)
We'll also need this for making sure we initialize the siphash key
before we do any hashes.
I've made an exception for cases where I'm sure that users can't
influence the inputs. This is likely to cause a slowdown somewhere,
but it's safer to siphash everything and *then* look for cases to
optimize.
This patch doesn't actually get us any _benefit_ from siphash yet,
since we don't really randomize the key at any point.
siphash is a hash function designed for producing hard-to-predict
64-bit outputs from short inputs and a 128-bit key. It's chosen for
security and speed.
See https://131002.net/siphash/ for more information on siphash.

This is a bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta, because 6b83b3b made directory
authorities remove themselves from the list of directory authorities to
upload to, but didn't suppress the warning in case they're the only
directory authority in the network.
(There is no longer meaningfully any such thing as a HS authority,
since we stopped uploading or downloading v0 hs descriptors in
0.2.2.1-alpha.)
Implements #10881, and part of #10841.
Apparently fedora currently has ECDH but not P224. This isn't a huge
deal, since we no longer use OpenSSL's P224 ever (see #9780 and
72c1e5acfe). But we shouldn't have segfaulting benchmarks really.
Fixes bug 10835; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
This patch removes an "if (chan)" that occurred at a place where
chan was definitely non-NULL. Having it there made some static
analysis tools conclude that we were up to shenanigans.
This resolves#9979.
Right now this accounts for about 1% of circuits over all, but if you
pick a guard that's running 0.2.3, it will be about 6% of the circuits
running through that guard.
Making sure that every circuit has at least one ntor link means that
we're getting plausibly good forward secrecy on every circuit.
This implements ticket 9777,
