We recently merged a circuit cell queue size safeguard. This commit adds the
number of killed circuits that have reached the limit to the DoS heartbeat. It
now looks like this:
[notice] DoS mitigation since startup: 0 circuits killed with too many
cells. 0 circuits rejected, 0 marked addresses. 0 connections closed. 0
single hop clients refused.
Second thing that this patch does. It makes tor always print the DoS
mitigation heartbeat line (for a relay) even though no DoS mitigation have
been enabled. The reason is because we now kill circuits that have too many
cells regardless on if it is enabled or not but also it will give the operator
a chance to learn what is enabled with the heartbeat instead of suddenly
appearing when it is enabled by let say the consensus.

* ADD new /src/common/crypto_rand.[ch] module.
* ADD new /src/common/crypto_util.[ch] module (contains the memwipe()
function, since all crypto_* modules need this).
* FIXES part of #24658: https://bugs.torproject.org/24658
We had this safeguard around dos_init() but not when the consensus changes
which can modify consensus parameters and possibly enable the DoS mitigation
even if tor wasn't a public relay.

This is to avoid positively identifying Exit relays if tor client connection
comes from them that is reentering the network.
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
cache since this is being backported.

Becasue the circuit creation burst and rate can change at runtime it is
possible that between two refill of a bucket, we end up setting the bucket
value to less than there currently is.

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.

This option refuses any ESTABLISH_RENDEZVOUS cell arriving from a client
connection. Its default value is "auto" for which we can turn it on or off
with a consensus parameter. Default value is 0.

If the client address was detected as malicious, apply a defense which is at
this commit to return a DESTROY cell.

Add a function that notifies the DoS subsystem that a new CREATE cell has
arrived. The statistics are updated accordingly and the IP address can also be
marked as malicious if it is above threshold.
At this commit, no defense is applied, just detection with a circuit creation
token bucket system.

Implement a basic connection tracking that counts the number of concurrent
connections when they open and close.
This commit also adds the circuit creation mitigation data structure that will
be needed at later commit to keep track of the circuit rate.

This commit introduces the src/or/dos.{c|h} files that contains the code for
the Denial of Service mitigation subsystem. It currently contains basic
functions to initialize and free the subsystem. They are used at this commit.
The torrc options and consensus parameters are defined at this commit and
getters are implemented.
