Add a bunch of function documentation; clean up a little code; fix some XXXXs; tag the nonsensical EXTRAINFO_PURPOSE_GENERAL as nonsesnse; note another bit of "do not cache special routers" code to nuke.

users configure that and specify a bridge with an identity
fingerprint, now they will lookup the bridge descriptor at the
default bridge authority via a one-hop tunnel, but once circuits
are established they will switch to a three-hop tunnel for later
connections to the bridge authority.

Add a line to the state file for each guard to let us know which version added the guard. If the line is absent, assume the guard was added by whatever version of Tor last wrote the state file. Remove guards if the version that added them was using a bad guard selection algorithm. (Previously, we removed guards if the version that wrote the file was using a bad guard selection algorithm, even if the guards themselves were chosen by a good version.)

When we are loading state info from disk, never believe any date in the future. Doing so can keep us from retrying guards, rotating onion keys, storing bandwidth info, etc. Fixes bug 434, and others. Backport candidate, once it has been tested.

never choose any guards past it. This way we don't expand our
guard list unless we need to. [Bugfix in 0.1.2.x]
I'm not sure if this will solve all our problems, but it is at least
something.

in the networkstatuses, so we'll mark it unusable when we
load it, and then when we get a new routerinfo for it, we'll
still think it's unusable. fix that.

- Only listen to responses for "authority" fetches if we're configured
to use Bridges. Otherwise it's safe (and maybe smarter) to silently
discard them like we used to.
- React faster to download networkstatuses after the first bridge
descriptor arrives.
- Don't do dir fetches before we have any bridges, even when our
dirport is open.
svn:r10604
- demand options->Bridges and options->TunnelDirConns if
options->UseBridges is set.
- after directory fetches, accept descriptors that aren't referenced by
our networkstatuses, *if* they're for a configured bridge.
- delay directory fetching until we have at least one bridge descriptor.
- learn how to build a one-hop circuit when we have neither routerinfo
nor routerstatus for our destination.
- teach directory connections how to pick a bridge as the destination
directory when doing non-anonymous fetches.
- tolerate directory commands for which the dir_port is 0.
- remember descriptors when the requested_resource was "authority",
rather than just ignoring them.
- put bridges on our entry_guards list once we have a descriptor for them.
When UseBridges is set, only pick entry guards that are bridges. Else
vice versa.

It is becoming increasingly clear to me that bridges should
be a special case of entry guards, not a whole separate pile
of nearly identical functions.

Initial version of circuit-based cell queues. Instead of hammering or_conns with piles of cells, queue cells on their corresponding circuits, and append them to the or_conn as needed. This seems to work so far, but needs a bit more work. This will break the memory-use-limitation patch for begin_dir conns: the solution will be a fun but fiddly.

Make all LD_BUG log messsages get prefixed with "Bug: ". Remove manually-generated "Bug: "s from log-messages. (Apparently, we remembered to add them about 40% of the time.)
svn:r9733
Fix a bug found by Udo van den Heuvel: avoid an assertion failure when a controller sets and clears EntryNodes before the next call to choose_random_entry(). Also make a function static.
svn:r9669
Node-picking fixes: Never warn when a down node is listed in a config option (bug 348); always warn when a node in a config option is unnamed. Also, when entrynodes is configured, then build the guard list as: (parts of EntryNodes that were guards before), (the rest of EntryNodes), (the rest of the old guards). This last point ensures that EntryNode users will get the EntryNodes they want with the minimum change to their guard list.
