The main.c code is responsible for initialization and shutdown;
the mainloop.c code is responsible for running the main loop of Tor.
Splitting the "generic event loop" part of mainloop.c from the
event-loop-specific part is not done as part of this patch.
In dirauth:
* bwauth.c reads and uses bandwidth files
* guardfraction.c reads and uses the guardfraction file
* reachability.c tests relay reachability
* recommend_pkg.c handles the recommended-packages lines.
* recv_descs.c handles fingerprint files and processing incoming
routerinfos that relays upload to us
* voteflag.c computes flag thresholds and sets those thresholds on
routerstatuses when computing votes
In control:
* fmt_serverstatus.c generates the ancient "v1 server status"
format that controllers expect.
In nodelist:
* routerstatus_fmt.c formats routerstatus entries for a consensus,
a vote, or for the controller.
There are now separate modules for:
* the list of router descriptors
* the list of authorities and fallbacks
* managing authority certificates
* selecting random nodes
The OpenSSL "RSA" object is currently 408 bytes compares to the ASN.1 encoding
which is 140 for a 1024 RSA key.
We save 268 bytes per descriptor (routerinfo_t) *and* microdescriptor
(microdesc_t). Scaling this to 6000 relays, and considering client usually
only have microdescriptors, we save 1.608 MB of RAM which is considerable for
mobile client.
This commit makes it that we keep the RSA onion public key (used for TAP
handshake) in ASN.1 format instead of an OpenSSL RSA object.
Changes is done in both routerinfo_t and microdesc_t.

This commit won't build yet -- it just puts everything in a slightly
more logical place.
The reasoning here is that "src/core" will hold the stuff that every (or
nearly every) tor instance will need in order to do onion routing.
Other features (including some necessary ones) will live in
"src/feature". The "src/app" directory will hold the stuff needed
to have Tor be an application you can actually run.
This commit DOES NOT refactor the former contents of src/or into a
logical set of acyclic libraries, or change any code at all. That
will have to come in the future.
We will continue to move things around and split them in the future,
but I hope this lays a reasonable groundwork for doing so.
