on startup, it forks off a master dns handler, which forks off dns
slaves (like the apache model). slaves as spawned as load increases,
and then reused. excess slaves are not ever killed, currently.
implemented topics. each topic has a receive window in each direction
at each edge of the circuit, and sends sendme's at the data level, as
per before. each circuit also has receive windows in each direction at
each hop; an edge sends a circuit-level sendme as soon as enough data
cells have arrived (regardless of whether the data cells were flushed
to the exit conns). removed the 'connected' cell type, since it's now
a topic command within data cells.
at the edge of the circuit, there can be multiple connections associated
with a single circuit. you find them via the linked list conn->next_topic.
currently each new ap connection starts its own circuit, so we ought
to see comparable performance to what we had before. but that's only
because i haven't written the code to reattach to old circuits. please
try to break it as-is, and then i'll make it reuse the same circuit and
we'll try to break that.

this was a major faq, because it would fail with an error only on
the *server* side when the client-side time was wrong. the client would
simply not work.

we also queue data cells destined for a circuit that is
pending, and process them once the circuit opens
destroys reach into the queue and remove the pending onion,
along with its collected data cells

prkey is only fetched when it's needed
tor nodes who aren't dirservers now fetch directories and autoconnect
to new nodes listed in the directory
default role is a non-dirserver node

revamped the router reading section
reference counting for crypto pk env's (so we can dup them)
we now read and write pem pk keys from string rather than from FILE*,
in anticipation of fetching directories over a socket
(so now on startup we slurp in the whole file, then parse it as a string)
fixed a bug in the proxy side, where you could get some circuits
wedged if they showed up while the connection was being made

I modified new_route so we don't pick twins back-to-back in the path.
I also had to patch my previous uses of connection_twin_get_by_addr_port()
because they assumed that "addr" and "port" would be the same for a twin
as for the original router.

Each socket reads at most 'bandwidth' bytes per second sustained, but
can handle bursts of up to 10*bandwidth bytes.
Cells are now sent out at evenly-spaced intervals, with padding sent
out otherwise. Set Linkpadding=0 in the rc file to send cells as soon
as they're available (and to never send padding cells).
Added license/copyrights statements at the top of most files.
router->min and router->max have been merged into a single 'bandwidth'
value. We should make the routerinfo_t reflect this (want to do that,
Mat?)
As the bandwidth increases, and we want to stop sleeping more and more
frequently to send a single cell, cpu usage goes up. At 128kB/s we're
pretty much calling poll with a timeout of 1ms or even 0ms. The current
code takes a timeout of 0-9ms and makes it 10ms. prepare_for_poll()
handles everything that should have happened in the past, so as long as
our buffers don't get too full in that 10ms, we're ok.
Speaking of too full, if you run three servers at 100kB/s with -l debug,
it spends too much time printing debugging messages to be able to keep
up with the cells. The outbuf ultimately fills up and it kills that
connection. If you run with -l err, it works fine up through 500kB/s and
probably beyond. Down the road we'll want to teach it to recognize when
an outbuf is getting full, and back off.

The 'or' process can now be told (by the global_role variable) what
roles this server should play -- connect to all ORs, listen for ORs,
listen for OPs, listen for APs, or any combination.
* everything in /src/op/ is now obsolete.
* connection_ap.c now handles all interactions with application proxies
* "port" is now or_port, op_port, ap_port. But routers are still always
referenced (say, in conn_get_by_addr_port()) by addr / or_port. We
should make routers.c actually read these new ports (currently I've
kludged it so op_port = or_port+10, ap_port=or_port+20)
* circuits currently know if they're at the beginning of the path because
circ->cpath is set. They use this instead for crypts (both ways),
if it's set.
* I still obey the "send a 0 back to the AP when you're ready" protocol,
but I think we should phase it out. I can simply not read from the AP
socket until I'm ready.
I need to do a lot of cleanup work here, but the code appears to work, so
now's a good time for a checkin.
