This patch adds the Unix backend for the Process subsystem. The Unix
backend attaches file descriptors from the child process's standard in,
out and error to Tor's libevent based main loop using traditional Unix
pipes. We use the already available `waitpid` module to get events
whenever the child process terminates.

This patch adds a new Process subsystem for running external programs in
the background of Tor. The design is focused around a new type named
`process_t` which have an API that allows the developer to easily write
code that interacts with the given child process. These interactions
includes:
- Easy API for writing output to the child process's standard input
handle.
- Receive callbacks whenever the child has output on either its standard
output or standard error handles.
- Receive callback when the child process terminates.
We also support two different "protocols" for handling output from the
child process. The default protocol is the "line" protocol where the
process output callbacks will be invoked only when there is complete
lines (either "\r\n" or "\n" terminated). We also support the "raw"
protocol where the read callbacks will get whatever the operating system
delivered to us in a single read operation.
This patch does not include any operating system backends, but the Unix
and Windows backends will be included in separate commits.

The old implementation did some funky out-of-order lexing, and
tended to parse every port twice if the %d-%d pattern didn't match.
Closes ticket 28853.
When the clock jumps, and we have a record of last user activity,
adjust that record. This way if I'm inactive for 10 minutes and
then the laptop is sleeping for an hour, I'll still count as having
been inactive for 10 minutes.
Previously, we treat every jump as if it were activity, which is
ridiculous, and would prevent a Tor instance with a jumpy clock from
ever going dormant.
encoding and decoding.
There are bunches of places where we don't want to invest in a full
fuzzer, but we would like to make sure that some string operation
can handle all its possible inputs. This fuzzer uses the first byte
of its input to decide what to do with the rest of the input. Right
now, all the possibilities are decoding a string, and seeing whether
it is decodeable. If it is, we try to re-encode it and do the whole
thing again, to make sure we get the same result.
This turned up a lot of bugs in the key-value parser, and I think it
will help in other cases too.

Appveyor images are named after the Visual Studio version they contain.
But we compile using MinGW, not Visual Studio.
We use these images because they have different Windows versions.
Closes bug 28826.
Add the bootstrap tag name to the log messages, so people
troubleshooting connection problems can look up a symbol instead of a
number. Closes ticket 28731.
Merge Phoul's two lists into teor's list.
Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.3.3.1-alpha in
January 2018 (of which ~115 were still functional), with a list of
157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85 removed) generated in
December 2018.
Closes ticket 24803.
Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.3.3.1-alpha in

148 fallbacks (89 new, 59 existing, 91 removed) generated in
December 2018.
Closes ticket 24803.
If a relay matches at least one fingerprint, IPv4 address, or IPv6
address in the fallback whitelist, it can become a fallback. This
reduces the work required to keep the list up to date.
Closes ticket 28768.
