Manually fix up some reply-generating code that the Coccinelle scripts
won't match. Some more complicated ones remain -- these are mostly
ones that accumulate data to send, and then call connection_buf_add()
or connection_write_str_to_buf() directly.
Create a set of abstractions for controller commands and events to
output replies to the control channel. The control protocol has a
relatively consistent SMTP-like structure, so it's helpful when code
that implements control commands and events doesn't explicitly format
everything on its own.
Split the core reply formatting code out of control_fmt.c into
control_proto.c. The remaining code in control_format.c deals with
specific subsystems and will eventually move to join those subsystems.
When we tell the periodic event manager about an event, we are
"registering" that event. The event sits around without being
usable, however, until we "connect" the event to libevent. In the
end, we "disconnect" the event and remove its libevent parts.
Previously, we called these operations "add", "setup", and
"destroy", which led to confusion.
We need a little refactoring for this to work, since the
initialization code for the periodic events assumes that libevent is
already initialized, which it can't be until it's configured.
This change, combined with the previous ones, lets other subsystems
declare their own periodic events, without mainloop.c having to know
about them. Implements ticket 30293.
The nodelist_idx for each node_t serves as a unique identifier for
the node, so we can use a bitarray to hold all the excluded
nodes, and then remove them from the smartlist.
Previously use used smartlist_subtract(sl, excluded), which is
O(len(sl)*len(excluded)).
We can use this function in other places too, but this is the one
that showed up on the profiles of 30291.
Closes ticket 30307.
This command does not fit perfectly with the others, since its
second argument is optional and may contain equal signs. Still,
it's probably better to squeeze it into the new metaformat, since
doing so allows us to remove several pieces of the old
command-parsing machinery.
