they used to be used for
* queueing relay cells at the edge of the network, when windows are empty
* queueing relay cells that arrive after an onion but before the onion
has been processed.
both of these uses are gone. so out they go.

circuits no longer queue more cells when the windows are empty --
they simply don't package it from the buffer if they're not going to want it.
we can restore this code later if we need to resume queueing.

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.
svn:r145
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
svn:r142
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
svn:r120
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
