Based on questions and comments from dgoulet, I've tried to fill
in the reasoning about why these functions work in the way that they
do, so that it will be easier for future programmers to understand
why this code exists and works the way it does.
Since we can't be sure that we can unlink enough files on windows
here, let's let the number of permitted entries grow huge if it
really must.
We do this by letting the storagedir hold lots of entries, but still
trying to keep the number of entries under the configured limit. We
also have to tell consdiffmgr not to freak out if it can't actually
remove enough entries.
Part of a fix for bug 22752
Some parentheses were missing making the rend_max_intro_circs_per_period()
return a lower value than it was suppose to.
The calculation is that a service at most will open a number of intro points
that it wants which is 3 by default or HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints. Two
extra are launched for performance reason. Finally, this can happen twice for
two descriptors for the current and next time period.
From:
2 * n_intro_wanted + 2
...which resulted in 8 for 3 intro points, this commit fixes it to:
(n_intro_wanted + 2) * 2
... resulting in 12 possible intro point circuit which is the correct maximum
intro circuit allowed per period.
Last, this commit rate limits the the log message if we ever go above that
limit else over a INTRO_CIRC_RETRY_PERIOD, we can print it often!

Patch from Vort; fixes bug 23081; bugfix on fd992deeea in
0.2.1.16-rc when set_main_thread() was introduced.
See the changes file for a list of all the symptoms this bug has
been causing when running Tor as a Windows Service.
One log statement was a warning and has been forgotten. It is triggered for a
successful attempt at introducting from a client.
It has been reported here:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2017-August/012689.html
Three other log_warn() statement changed to protocol warning because they are
errors that basically can come from the network and thus triggered by anyone.
Fixes#23078.

Now that half the threads are permissive and half are strict, we
need to make sure we have at least two threads, so that we'll
have at least one of each kind.
Relay operators (especially bridge operators) can use this to lower
or raise the number of consensuses that they're willing to hold for
diff generation purposes.
This enables a workaround for bug 22883.
