When we try to fetch a bridge descriptor and we fail, we mark
the guard as failed, but we never scheduled a re-compute for
router_have_minimum_dir_info().
So if we had already decided we needed to wait for this new descriptor,
we would just wait forever -- even if, counterintuitively, *losing* the
bridge is just what we need to *resume* using the network, if we had it
in state GUARD_REACHABLE_MAYBE and we were stalling to learn this outcome.
See bug 40396 for more details.
When we looked, this was the third most frequent message at
PROTOCOL_WARN, and doesn't actually tell us what to do about it.
Now:
* we just log it at info
* we log it only once per circuit
* we report, in the heartbeat, how many times it happens, how many
cells it happens with per circuit, and how long these circuits
have been alive (on average).
Fixes the final part of #40400.
This is due to the libevent bug
https://github.com/libevent/libevent/issues/1219 that fails to return
back the DNS record type on error.
And so, the MetricsPort now only reports the errors as a global counter
and not a per record type.

With this commit, we will only report a general overload state if we've
seen more than X% of DNS timeout errors over Y seconds. Previous
behavior was to report when a single timeout occured which is really too
small of a threshold.
The value X is a consensus parameters called
"overload_dns_timeout_scale_percent" which is a scaled percentage
(factor of 1000) so we can represent decimal points for X like 0.5% for
instance. Its default is 1000 which ends up being 1%.
The value Y is a consensus parameters called
"overload_dns_timeout_period_secs" which is the time period for which
will gather DNS errors and once over, we assess if that X% has been
reached ultimately triggering a general overload signal.

This means that at this commit, tor will stop logging that v2 is
deprecated and treat a v2 address as a bad hostname that we can't use.

Values greater than 100 would have had the same effect as 100, so
this doesn't actually change Tor's behavior; it just makes the
intent clearer. Fixes#40486; see also torspec#66.
This is the loudest of our LOG_PROTOCOL_WARN messages, it can occur
naturally, and there doesn't seem to be a great response to it.
Partial fix for 40400; bugfix on 0.1.1.13-alpha.
This one happens every time we get a failure from
circuit_receive_relay_cell -- but for all the relevant failing cases
in that function, we already log in that function.
This resolves one case of #40400. Two cases remain.
Series 0.4.2.x, 0.4.3.x and 0.4.4.x will all be rejected at the
authority level at this commit.
Futhermore, the 0.4.5.x alphas and rc will also be rejected.
