Formerly, we would use quiet_level as an excuse to rewrite the log
configuration, adding a default log line if none existed, and if
RunAsDaemon was not set, and if we were not being invoked via
setconf (!).
This is against our best practices for several reasons:
* We should not be changing configured options except when the
user tells us to do so.
* We should especially not be changing options in the options_validate
function.
* Distinguishing whether we are being called from setconf adds a
risky special-case.
Instead, this patch take a simpler approach: it changes the
interpretation of having no logging lines set to mean: If there is a
stdout, add a default log based on quiet_level.
Solves ticket 31999.
We used to have this function so that we could mark our initial
log-to-stdout as specifically temporary so that we would delete it
once regular logs were configured. But it's no longer necessary to
mark these logs as temporary, since we now use a mark-and-sweep
process to ensure that _all_ not-configured logs are closed when we
change our configuration.
Instead, this function will be the basis of a refactoring in how we
handle default logs.
Previously this was done with a big list of options in main.c which
implied "hush" or "quiet". One of these options ("--digests") no
longer existed, but we still checked for it.
Now we use the table of command-line-only arguments to set this
value.
Previously these were implemented with a search in
options_init_from_torrc(), but that led to each option being
declared more than needed: once to say that it was a valid option,
and once to say what it meant.
I'm doing this for consistency, so that all the values for this enum
have the same prefix.
This is an automated commit, generated by the following shell commands:

perl -i -pe 's!\bTAKES_NO_ARGUMENT\b!ARGUMENT_NONE!g;' "$fn"; \
done
Here we make it clear we're only looking at listable variable names,
not at whether the variables themselves are gettable.
Also, remove an extraneous h.
(This commit is not a fixup, because of rebase conflicts.)
Since the flags are now stored with compatible numbering, we can
just OR them together and see whether the flag we want is in the
result.
(Net code removal!)
We had though to make all obsolete and invisible variables
ungettable, so that GETCONF would reject them. But it turns out
that this isn't the current behavior of GETCONF with those
variables. So for now, I'm leaving the current behavior unchanged.
(See ticket 31647 for a proposal to change the behavior.)
These levels get out of date really easily: we'll implement a level
dump command in tor in 31614.
They also cause conflicts and inconsistencies when merging forward
level changes.
