Some days before this commit, the network experienced a DDoS on the directory
authorities that prevented them to generate a consensus for more than 5 hours
straight.
That in turn entirely disabled onion service v3, client and service side, due
to the subsystem requiring a live consensus to function properly.
We know require a reasonably live consensus which means that the HSv3
subsystem will to its job for using the best consensus tor can find. If the
entire network is using an old consensus, than this should be alright.
If the service happens to use a live consensus while a client is not, it
should still work because the client will use the current SRV it sees which
might be the previous SRV for the service for which it still publish
descriptors for.
If the service is using an old one and somehow can't get a new one while
clients are on a new one, then reachability issues might arise. However, this
is a situation we already have at the moment since the service will simply not
work if it doesn't have a live consensus while a client has one.

In this case, when we're looking for the voting interval, we should
try looking at the _latest_ consensus if we have one. When we're
looking for the start of the current voting period, we can use our
existing fallback logic without complaint, since the voting interval
code will already have given us a reasonable voting interval, and we
want to have a round starting time based on the current time.
This is not as clean a patch as I would like: see the comment on
ASSUME_AUTHORITY_SCHEDULING. This issue here is that the unit tests
sometimes assume that we are going to be looking at the dirauth
options and behaving like a dirauth, but without setting the options
to turn is into one.
This isn't an issue for actually running Tor, as far as I can tell
with chutney.

Bug description: For each descriptor, its revision counter is the OPE
ciphertext of the number of seconds since the start time of its SRV value.
This bug caused us to confuse the SRV start time in the middle of the lifetime
of a descriptor in some edge-cases, which caused descriptor rejects.
Bug cause: The bug occurs when we fetch a 23:00 consensus after
midnight (e.g. at 00:08 when not all dirauths have fetched the latest 00:00
consensus). In that case, the voting schedule (which was used for SRV start
time calculation) would return a valid-after past-midnight, whereas our
consensus would be pre-midnight, and that would confuse the SRV start time
computation which is used by HS revision counters (because we would reset the
start time of SRV, without rotating descriptors).
Bug fix: We now use our local consensus time to calculate the SRV start time,
instead of the voting schedule. The voting schedule does not work as originally
envisioned in this case, because it was created for voting by dirauths and not
for scheduling stuff on clients.
This commit won't build yet -- it just puts everything in a slightly
more logical place.
The reasoning here is that "src/core" will hold the stuff that every (or
nearly every) tor instance will need in order to do onion routing.
Other features (including some necessary ones) will live in
"src/feature". The "src/app" directory will hold the stuff needed
to have Tor be an application you can actually run.
This commit DOES NOT refactor the former contents of src/or into a
logical set of acyclic libraries, or change any code at all. That
will have to come in the future.
We will continue to move things around and split them in the future,
but I hope this lays a reasonable groundwork for doing so.
