we should avoid launching a consensus fetch if we don't want one,
but if we do end up with an extra one, we should let the other checks
take care of it.
We'll back off from the request in connection_ap_handshake_attach_circuit,
or cancel it in connection_dir_close_consensus_fetches, and those are the
only places we need to check.
Tor stores client authorization cookies in two slightly different forms.
The service's client_keys file has the standard base64-encoded cookie,
including two chars of padding. The hostname file and the client remove
the two padding chars, and store an auth type flag in the unused bits.
The distinction makes no sense. Refactor all decoding to use the same
function, which will accept either form, and use a helper function for
encoding the truncated format.
This improves client anonymity and avoids directory header tampering.
The extra load on the authorities should be offset by the fallback
directories feature.
This also simplifies the fixes to #18809.
Delete an unnecessary check for non-preferred IP versions.
Allows clients which can't reach any directories of their
preferred IP address version to get directory documents.
Patch on #17840 in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
After #17840 in 0.2.8.1-alpha, we incorrectly chose an IPv4
address for all DIRIND_ONEHOP directory connections,
even if the routerstatus didn't have an IPv4 address.
This likely affected bridge clients with IPv6 bridges.
Resolves#18921.
The problem is that "q" is always set on the first iteration even
if the question is not a supported question. This set of "q" is
not necessary, and will be handled after exiting the loop if there
if a supported q->type was found.

* SHA-3/SHAKE use little endian for certain things, so byteswap as
needed.
* The code was written under the assumption that unaligned access to
quadwords is allowed, which isn't true particularly on non-Intel.
