The directory_fetches_from_authorities() is used to know if a client or relay
should fetch data from an authority early in the boot process.
We had a condition in that function that made a relay trigger that fetch if it
didn't know its address (so we can learn it). However, when this is called,
the address discovery has not been done yet so it would always return true for
a relay.
Furthermore, it would always trigger a log notice that the IPv4 couldn't be
found which was inevitable because the address discovery process has not been
done yet (done when building our first descriptor).
It is also important to point out that starting in 0.4.5.1-alpha, asking an
authority for an address is done during address discovery time using a one-hop
circuit thus independent from the relay deciding to fetch or not documents
from an authority.
Small fix also is to reverse the "IPv(4|6)Only" flag in the notice so that if
we can't find IPv6 it would output to use IPv4Only.

Fix a bug introduced in 94b56eaa75 which
overwrite the connection message line.
Furthermore, improve how we generate that line by using a smartlist and change
the format so it is clearer of what is being rejected/detected and, if
applicable, which option is disabled thus yielding no stats.

This is a new detection type which is that a relay can now control the rate of
client connections from a single address.
The mechanism is pretty simple, if the rate/burst is reached, the address is
marked for a period of time and any connection from that address is denied.

When trying to find our address to publish, we would log notice if we couldn't
find it from the cache but then we would look at the suggested cache (which
contains the address from the authorities) in which we might actually have the
address.
Thus that log notice was misplaced. Move it down after the suggested address
cache lookup.

It can be called with strings that should have been
length-delimited, but which in fact are not. This can cause a
CPU-DoS bug or, in a worse case, a crash.
Since this function isn't essential, the best solution for older
Tors is to just turn it off.
Fixes bug 40286; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha when dump_desc() was

Now that exit relays don't allow exit connections to directory authority

We were just looking at the family which is not correct because it is possible
to have two explicit ORPort for the same family but different addresses. One
example is:
ORPort 127.0.0.1:9001 NoAdvertise
ORPort 1.2.3.4:9001 NoListen
Thus, this patch now ignores ports that have different addresses iff they are
both explicits. That is, if we have this example, also two different
addresses:
ORPort 9001
ORPort 127.0.0.1:9001 NoAdvertise
The first one is implicit and second one is explicit and thus we have to
consider them for removal which in this case would remove the "ORPort 9001" in
favor of the second port.

Fixes bug #40281; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
In two instances we must look at this flag:
1. When we build the descriptor so the IPv6 is NOT added to the descriptor in
case we judge that we need to omit the address but still publish.
2. When we are deciding if the descriptor is publishable. This flags tells us
that the IPv6 was not found reachable but we should still publish.

We would before do an address discovery and then a lookup in the cache if not
found which is now simplified by calling relay_find_addr_to_publish() directly
which does all those combined.
Furthermore, by doing so, we won't trigger an address discovery every minute
if we have no ORPort configured for the family.

This validation was only done if DisableNetwork was off because we would use
the global list of transports/bridges and DisableNetwork would not populate
it.
This was a problem for any user using DisableNetwork which includes Tor
Browser and thus leading to the Bug() warning.
Without a more in depth refactoring, we can't do this validation without the
global list.
The previous commit makes it that any connection to a bridge without a
transport won't happen thus we keep the security feature of not connecting to
a bridge without its corresponding transport.

This patch limits the number of items in the consensus diff cache to 64
on the Windows platform. Hopefully, this will allow us to investigate a
smarter fix while avoiding the situation reported in tor#24857 where
Windows relay operators report Tor using 100% CPU.
See: tor#24857
This patch removes a call to `tor_assert_nonfatal()` if
`extend_info_from_node()` returns NULL. This is unnecessary as we
already handle the case where `info` is NULL in the next `if (!info) {
... }` block in the code.
See: tor#32666.
This reverts commit d07f17f676.

This one should work on GCC _and_ on Clang. The previous version
made Clang happier by not having unreachable "fallthrough"
statements, but made GCC sad because GCC didn't think that the
unconditional failures were really unconditional, and therefore
_wanted_ a FALLTHROUGH.
This patch adds a FALLTHROUGH_UNLESS_ALL_BUGS_ARE_FATAL macro that
seems to please both GCC and Clang in this case: ordinarily it is a
FALLTHROUGH, but when ALL_BUGS_ARE_FATAL is defined, it's an
abort().

merged into maint-0.3.5 and forward, and released in 0.4.5.3-rc.

Our original code for parsing these parameters out of our list of
parameters pre-dated us having the
dirvote_get_intermediate_param_value() function... and it was buggy.
Specifically, it would reject any " ... K=V ..." value
where there were additional unconverted characters after the V, and
use the default value instead,
We haven't run into this yet because we've never voted for
bwweightscale to be anything besides the default 10000, or
maxunmeasuredbw to be anything besides the default 20.
This requires a new consensus method because it is a change in how
consensuses are computed.
Fixes bug 19011; bugfix on 0.2.2.10-alpha.
Some days before this commit, the network experienced a DDoS on the directory
authorities that prevented them to generate a consensus for more than 5 hours
straight.
That in turn entirely disabled onion service v3, client and service side, due
to the subsystem requiring a live consensus to function properly.
We know require a reasonably live consensus which means that the HSv3
subsystem will to its job for using the best consensus tor can find. If the
entire network is using an old consensus, than this should be alright.
If the service happens to use a live consensus while a client is not, it
should still work because the client will use the current SRV it sees which
might be the previous SRV for the service for which it still publish
descriptors for.
If the service is using an old one and somehow can't get a new one while
clients are on a new one, then reachability issues might arise. However, this
is a situation we already have at the moment since the service will simply not
work if it doesn't have a live consensus while a client has one.

It turns out that 9 years ago, we stopped appending data into stats file and
rather overwrite everytime we have new stats (see commit
a6a127c833)
The load_stats_file() function was still thinking that we could have the same
line many times in the file which turns out to be false since 9 years ago.
However, that did not cause problem until IPv6 connection stats came along
which introduced a new line in conn-stats: "ipv6-conn-bi-direct ...".
Before, that file contained a single line starting with the tag
"conn-bi-direct". That very tag appears also in the IPv6 tag (see above) so
the load_stats_file() function would consider that the IPv6 line as the last
tag to be appeneded to the file and fail to report the line above (for IPv4).
It would actually truncate the IPv6 line and report it (removing the "ipv6-"
part).
In other words, "conn-bi-direct" was not reported and instead
"ipv6-conn-bi-direct" was used without the "ipv6-" part.
This commit refactors the entire function so that now it looks for a
"timestamp tag" to validate and then if everything is fine, returns the entire
content of the file. The refactor simplifies the function, adds logging in
case of failures and modernize it in terms of coding standard.
Unit tests are also added that makes sure the loaded content matches the
entire file if timestamp validation passes.
