This patch adds support for getting the unique process identifier from a
given process_t. This patch implements both support for both the Unix
and Microsoft Windows backend.

This patch adds support for Microsoft Windows in the Process subsystem.
Libevent does not support mixing different types of handles (sockets,
named pipes, etc.) on Windows in its core event loop code. This have
historically meant that Tor have avoided attaching any non-networking
handles to the event loop. This patch uses a slightly different approach
to roughly support the same features for the Process subsystem as we do
with the Unix backend.
In this patch we use Windows Extended I/O functions (ReadFileEx() and
WriteFileEx()) which executes asynchronously in the background and
executes a completion routine when the scheduled read or write operation
have completed. This is much different from the Unix backend where the
operating system signals to us whenever a file descriptor is "ready" to
either being read from or written to.
To make the Windows operating system execute the completion routines of
ReadFileEx() and WriteFileEx() we must get the Tor process into what
Microsoft calls an "alertable" state. To do this we execute SleepEx()
with a zero millisecond sleep time from a main loop timer that ticks
once a second. This moves the process into the "alertable" state and
when we return from the zero millisecond timeout all the outstanding I/O
completion routines will be called and we can schedule the next reads
and writes.
The timer loop is also responsible for detecting whether our child
processes have terminated since the last timer tick.

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 strcmp_len() function was somewhat misconceived, since we're
only using it to test whether a length+extent string is equal to a
NUL-terminated string or not. By simplifying it and making it
inlined, we should be able to make it a little faster.
(It *does* show up in profiles.)
Closes ticket 28856.
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.
I believe we originally added this for "just in case" safety, but it
isn't actually needed -- we never copy uninitialized stack here.
What's more, this one memset is showing up on our startup profiles,
so we ought to remove it.
Closes ticket 28852.
The point of this function is to make sure that the ed25519-based
implementation of curve25519_basepoint() actually works when we
start tor, and use the regular fallback implementation if it
doesn't. But it accounts for 9% of our startup time in the case
when we have directory information, and I think it's safe to make
the test shorter. After all, it has yet to find any actual bugs in
curved25519_scalarmult_basepoint_donna() on any platforms.
Closes ticket 28838.
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.
Closes ticket 28808.
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.
