A couple of places in control.c were using connection_handle_write()
to flush important stuff (the response to a SIGNAL command, an
ERR-level status event) before Tor went down. But
connection_handle_write() isn't meaningful for bufferevents, so we'd
crash.
This patch adds a new connection_flush() that works for all connection
backends, and makes control.c use that instead.
Fix for bug 3367; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
debug-level since it will be quite common. logged at both client
and server side. this step should help us track what's going on
with people filtering tor connections by our ssl habits.
This lets us make a lot of other stuff const, allows the compiler to
generate (slightly) better code, and will make me get slightly fewer
patches from folks who stick mutable stuff into or_options_t.
const: because not every input is an output!
Original message from bug3393:
check_private_dir() to ensure that ControlSocketsGroupWritable is
safe to use. Unfortunately, check_private_dir() only checks against
the currently running user… which can be root until privileges are
dropped to the user and group configured by the User config option.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding a new effective_user
argument to check_private_dir() and updating the callers. It might
not be the best way to fix the issue, but it did in my tests.

When we set a networkstatus in the non-preferred flavor, we'd check
the time in the current_consensus. But that might have been NULL,
which could produce a crash as seen in bug 3361.
When we added the check for key size, we required that the keys be
128 bytes. But RSA_size (which defers to BN_num_bytes) will return
128 for keys of length 1017..1024. This patch adds a new
crypto_pk_num_bits() that returns the actual number of significant
bits in the modulus, and uses that to enforce key sizes.

UseBridges 1 now means "connect only to bridges; if you know no
bridges, don't make connections." UseBridges auto means "Use bridges
if they are known, and we have no EntryNodes set, and we aren't a
server." UseBridges 0 means "don't use bridges."
This merge was a bit nontrivial, since I had to write a new
node_is_a_configured_bridge to parallel router_is_a_configured_bridge.
