These timers behave better with non-monotonic clocks than our old
ones, and also try harder to make once-per-second events get called
one second apart, rather than one-plus-epsilon seconds apart.
This fixes bug 943 for everybody using Libevent 2.0 or later.
We need to use evdns_add_server_port_with_base() when configuring
our DNS listener, because libevent segfaults otherwise. Add a macro
in compat_libevent.h to pick the correct implementation depending
on the libevent version.
Fixes bug 1143, found by SwissTorExit
This patch adds a new compat_libevent.[ch] set of files, and moves our
Libevent compatibility and utilitity functions there. We build them
into a separate .a so that nothing else in src/commmon depends on
Libevent (partially fixing bug 507).
Also, do not use our own built-in evdns copy when we have Libevent
2.0, whose evdns is finally good enough (thus fixing Bug 920).
