In 0.3.2.1-alpha, we've added this function in order to have a way to notify
other subsystems that the consensus just changed. The old consensus and the
new one are passed to it.
Before this patch, this was done _before_ the new consensus was set globally
(thus NOT accessible by getting the latest consensus). The scheduler
notification was assuming that it was set and select_scheduler() is looking at
the latest consensus to get the parameters it might needs. This was very wrong
because at that point it is still the old consensus set globally.
With this commit, notify_networkstatus_changed() has been moved _after_ the
new consensus is set globally. The main obvious reasons is to fix the bug
described above and in #24975. The other reason is that this notify function
doesn't return anything which could be allowing the possibility of refusing to
set the new consensus on error. In other words, the new consensus is set right
after the notification whatever happens.
It does no harm or change in behavior to set the new consensus first and then
notify the subsystems. The two functions currently used are for the control
port using the old and new consensus and sending the diff. The second is the
scheduler that needs the new consensus to be set globally before being called.
Of course, the function has been documented accordinly to clearly state it is
done _after_ the new consensus is set.
Fixes#24975

Fix an "off by 2" error in counting rendezvous failures on the onion
service side.
While we thought we would stop the rendezvous attempt after one failed
circuit, we were actually making three circuit attempts before giving up.
Fixes bug 24895; bugfix on 0.0.6.
Fix a set of false positives where relays would consider connections
to other relays as being client-only connections (and thus e.g.
deserving different link padding schemes) if those relays fell out
of the consensus briefly.
Now we look only at the initial handshake and whether the connection
authenticated as a relay.
Fixes bug 24898; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
New-style (v3) onion services now obey the "max rendezvous circuit
attempts" logic.
Previously they would make as many rendezvous circuit attempts as they
could fit in the MAX_REND_TIMEOUT second window before giving up.
Fixes bug 24894; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
These are all about local variables shadowing global
functions. That isn't normally a problem, but at least one
compiler we care about seems to treat this as a case of -Wshadow
violation, so let's fix it.
Fixes bug 24634; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
When the fascist_firewall_choose_address_ functions don't find a
reachable address, set the returned address to the null address and port.
This is a precautionary measure, because some callers do not check the
return value.
Fixes bug 24736; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
This makes clients on the public tor network prefer to bootstrap off fallback
directory mirrors.
This is a follow-up to 24679, which removed weights from the default fallbacks.
Implements ticket 24681.
