Previously, we said (more or less), "a2x is broken and here's how you could
try to fix it". Instead, we now say "We need a2x to build manpages; a2x
didn't work; here is a fix that might work for you; alternatively you
could just skip manpage building."
Addresses bug 1524.
Also, give the message as a here-document rather than a bunch of echos.
Having ~/.tor expand into /.tor is, after all, almost certainly not
what the user wanted, and it deserves a warning message.
Also, convert a guess-and-malloc-and-sprintf triple into an asprintf.
In rare cases, we could cannibalize a one-hop circuit, ending up
with a two-hop circuit. This circuit would not be actually used,
but we should prevent its creation in the first place.
Thanks to outofwords and swissknife for helping to analyse this.
Most of the changes here are switches to use APIs available on Windows
CE. The most pervasive change is that Windows CE only provides the
wide-character ("FooW") variants of most of the windows function, and
doesn't support the older ASCII verions at all.
This patch will require use of the wcecompat library to get working
versions of the posix-style fd-based file IO functions.

Back when we changed the idea of a connection being "too old" for new
circuits into the connection being "bad" for new circuits, we didn't
actually change the info messages. This led to telling the user that
we were labelling connections as "too old" for being worse than
connections that were actually older than them.

There are now four ways that CBT can be disabled:
1. Network-wide, with the cbtdisabled consensus param.
2. Via config, with "LearnCircuitBuildTimeout 0"
3. Via config, with "AuthoritativeDirectory 1"
4. Via a state file write failure.
This should prevent some asserts and storage of incorrect build times
for the cases where Tor is suspended during a circuit construction, or
just after completing a circuit. The idea is that if the circuit
build time is much greater than we would have cut it off at, we probably
had a suspend event along this codepath, and we should discard the
value.
In case we decide that the timeout rate is now too high due to our
change of the max synthetic quantile value, this consensus parameter
will allow us to restore it to the previous value.
