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.

We're getting "fallback annotation annotation in unreachable code"
warnings when we build with ALL_BUGS_ARE_FATAL. This patch fixes
that.
Fixes bug 40241. Bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha.
If we get an address suggestion from a directory authority and we have no
address configured or discovered, log it at notice level so the operator can
learn what address will be used by Tor.

The previous parser only considered stats files _starting_ with the
timestamp tag, not stats files having the timestamp tag in a later
position. While this applies to all current stats files, a future
stats file might look differently. Better to fix the function now than
be surprised in another 9 years from now.
This commit also adds a test case for such future stats, and it fixes
stats file paths in newly added unit tests.
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.

When making sure we have a Bridge line with a ClientTransportPlugin, we
now check in the managed proxy list and so we can catch any missing
ClientTransportPlugin for a Bridge line.

Previously, our code would send back an error if the socks5 request
parser said anything but DONE. But there are other non-error cases,
like TRUNCATED: we shouldn't send back errors for them.
This patch lowers the responsibility for setting the error message
into the parsing code, since the actual type of the error message
will depend on what problem was encountered.
Fixes bug 40190; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
From c618c4f279, we changed the static
libevent.a path to be able to use the git repository or tarball directly but
that broke the "make install" setup that Tor Browser is using with Android.
In other words, the git repository and tarball put the "libevent.a" in
".libs/" where "make install" puts it in "lib/".
Using the --with-libevent-dir=..., which is mandatory for static libevent,
autoconf will take the path and use it for the includes (-I) and library (-L)
for which if it finds a "include/" and a "lib/" in the root, it will use
those.
However, with the git repo or tarball, the "lib/" doesn't exists thus autoconf
sets the library search path to be at the root and thus fails to find the
libevent.a in ".libs/".
This is a whole lot more work to make both cases work in our configure.ac thus
I'm reverting the change here to the Tor Browser case works again and the work
around for others is to either symlink the libevent.a at the root or use a
temporary make install directory.
One long term fix here would likely be to ask libevent to symblink the .a into
the root along the .la files and likely do the same for .so. Or, use the
"lib/" structure to contain the .a + .so files. Would be better than doing
ninji-tsu in our configure.ac

Adds a more user-friendly error message when the configuration is
reloaded and a new %include is added that makes its unglobbing
access files/folders not allowed by the seccomp sandbox.
The "-static" compile flag was set globally which means that all autoconf test
were attempting to be built statically and lead to failures of detecting
OpenSSL libraries and others.
This commit adds this flag only to the "tor" binary build.
There is also a fix on where to find libevent.a since it is using libtool, it
is in .libs/.
At this commit, there are still warnings being emitted that informs the user
that the built binary must still be linked dynamically with glibc.

The function in charge of removing duplicate ORPorts from our configured ports
was skipping all non ORPorts port but only for the outer loop thus resulting
in comparing an ORPort with a non-ORPort which lead to problems.
For example, tor configured with the following would fail:
ORPort auto
DirPort auto
Both end up being the same configuration except that one is a OR listener and
one is a Dir listener. Thus because of the missing check in the inner loop,
they looked exactly the same and thus one is removed.

First, this commit moves the launch_dummy_circuit_as_needed() function into
relay_find_addr.c and renames it to relay_addr_learn_from_dirauth(). This is
an attempt to centralize anything relate with address discovery in the right
module.
Second, when building a descriptor and we fail to discover our address,
immediately launch a dummy circuit to an authority in an attempt to learn our
descriptor.
It is still only done every 20 minutes even though the descriptor build is
done every minute. We ought to avoid load on the authority and if we can't
learn in the first place our address from them, chances are more things are
wrong.

Regularly, tor looks if its IP has changed. It does the entire auto discovery
process again. However, it is possible that it does not find anything.
Instead of thinking the IP changed to an unknown address, look at our cache
and see if that value has changed.
The reason for this is because if tor gets its address as a suggestion from a
directory authority, it is because the auto discovery failed and thus that
address should be consider for the IP change check.

Tor now can learn its address from a NETINFO cell coming from an authority.
Thus, instead from launching a dummy descriptor fetch to learn the address
from the directory response (unauthenticated), we simply now launch a one-hop
testing circuit.
