Since 0.2.4, tor uses EWMA circuit policy to prioritize. The previous
algorithm, round-robin, hasn't been used since then but was still used as a
fallback.
Now that EWMA is mandatory, remove that code entirely and enforce a cmux
policy to be set.
This is part of a circuitmux cleanup to improve performance and reduce
complexity in the code. We'll be able to address future optimization with this
work.

The reason to do so is because these functions haven't been used in years so
since 0.2.4, every callsite is NOP.
In future commits, we'll remove the round robin circuit policy which is mostly
validated within those function.
This simplifies the code greatly and remove dead code for which we never had a
configure option in the first place nor an easy way to use them in production.

It is rename to something more meaningful that explains what it does exactly
which is sets the EWMA options (currently only one exists). The new name is
cmux_ewma_set_options().
Also, remove a public function from circuitmux_ewma.h that is only used in the
C file. Make it static inline as well.

To achieve this, a default value for the CircuitPriorityHalflife option was
needed. We still look in the options and then the consensus but in case no
value can be found, the default CircuitPriorityHalflifeMsec=30000 is used. It
it the value we've been using since 0.2.4.4-alpha.
This means that EWMA, our only policy, can not be disabled anymore fallbacking
to the round robin algorithm. Unneeded code to control that is removed in this
commit.

This is to avoid positively identifying Exit relays if tor client connection

One thing to note is that this is done only in the DoS subsystem but we'll
still add it to the geoip cache as a "client" seen. This is done that way so
to avoid as much as possible changing the current behavior of the geoip client

Tor preemptiely builds circuits and they can be cannibalized later in their

These are no longer meaningful, since there's no longer an upper
limit to how many times (in the exponential-backoff world) one can
retry a download. download_status_is_ready() didn't check these any
more, and neither do we.
In 0.3.2.1-alpha, we've added notify_networkstatus_changed() in order to have
a way to notify other subsystems that the consensus just changed. The old and
new consensus are passed to it.
Before this patch, this was done _before_ the new consensus was set globally
(thus NOT accessible by getting the latest consensus). The scheduler
notification was assuming that it was set and select_scheduler() is looking at
the latest consensus to get the parameters it might needs. This was very wrong
because at that point it is still the old consensus set globally.
This commit changes the notify_networkstatus_changed() to be the "before"
function and adds an "after" notification from which the scheduler subsystem
is notified.
Fixes#24975
When we stopped looking at the "protocols" variable directly, we
broke the hs_service/build_update_descriptors test, since it didn't
actually update any of the flags.
The fix here is to call summarize_protover_flags() from that test,
and to expose summarize_protover_flags() as "STATIC" from
routerparse.c.
This is the quick fix that is keeping the channel in PENDING state so if we
ever try to reschedule the same channel, it won't happened.

Setting the default for this at 10 and the learning timeout to 3 minutes means
we will complete our cbt learning in 30 minutes, which is under the reduced
padding connection timeout window.
In 0.3.2.1-alpha, we've added this function in order to have a way to notify
other subsystems that the consensus just changed. The old consensus and the
new one are passed to it.
Before this patch, this was done _before_ the new consensus was set globally
(thus NOT accessible by getting the latest consensus). The scheduler
notification was assuming that it was set and select_scheduler() is looking at
the latest consensus to get the parameters it might needs. This was very wrong
because at that point it is still the old consensus set globally.
With this commit, notify_networkstatus_changed() has been moved _after_ the
new consensus is set globally. The main obvious reasons is to fix the bug
described above and in #24975. The other reason is that this notify function
doesn't return anything which could be allowing the possibility of refusing to
set the new consensus on error. In other words, the new consensus is set right
after the notification whatever happens.
It does no harm or change in behavior to set the new consensus first and then
notify the subsystems. The two functions currently used are for the control
port using the old and new consensus and sending the diff. The second is the
scheduler that needs the new consensus to be set globally before being called.
Of course, the function has been documented accordinly to clearly state it is
done _after_ the new consensus is set.

Stop adding unneeded channel padding right after we finish flushing
to a connection that has been trying to flush for many seconds.
Instead, treat all partial or complete flushes as activity on the
channel, which will defer the time until we need to add padding.
This fix should resolve confusing and scary log messages like
"Channel padding timeout scheduled 221453ms in the past."
Fixes bug 22212; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
I think technically we could resolve bug 22212 by adding a call to
channel_timestamp_active() only in the finished_flushing case. But I added
a call in the flushed_some case too since that seems to more accurately
reflect the notion of "active".
Using get_uptime() and reset_uptime() instead of
accessing stats_n_seconds_working directly.
stats_n_seconds_working is not extern anymore.

Because this touches too many commits at once, it is made into one single
commit.
Remove the use of "tenths" for the circuit rate to simplify things. We can
only refill the buckets at best once every second because of the use of
approx_time() and our token system is set to be 1 token = 1 circuit so make
the rate a flat integer of circuit per second.

Imagine this scenario. We had 10 connections over the 24h lifetime of a geoip
cache entry. The lifetime of the entry has been reached so it is about to get
freed but 2 connections remain for it. After the free, a third connection
comes in thus making us create a new geoip entry for that address matching the
2 previous ones that are still alive. If they end up being closed, we'll have
a concurrent count desynch from what the reality is.
To mitigate this probably very rare scenario in practice, when we free a geoip
entry and it has a concurrent count above 0, we'll go over all connections
matching the address and clear out the tracked flag. So once they are closed,
we don't try to decrement the count.
