Directory authorities and relays now interact properly with directory
authorities if they change addresses. In the past, they would continue
to upload votes, signatures, descriptors, etc to the hard-coded address
in the configuration. Now, if the directory authority is listed in
the consensus at a different address, they will direct queries to this
new address.
Specifically, these three activities have changed:
* Posting a vote, a signature, or a relay descriptor to all the dir auths.
* Dir auths fetching missing votes or signatures from all the dir auths.
* Dir auths fetching new descriptors from a specific dir auth when they
just learned about them from that dir auth's vote.
We already do this desired behavior (prefer the address in the consensus,
but fall back to the hard-coded dirservers info if needed) when fetching
missing certs.
There is a fifth case, in router_pick_trusteddirserver(), where clients
and relays are trying to reach a random dir auth to fetch something. I
left that case alone for now because the interaction with fallbackdirs
is complicated.
Implements ticket 40705.
Directory authorities stop voting a consensus "Measured" weight
for relays with the Authority flag. Now these relays will be
considered unmeasured, which should reserve their bandwidth
for their dir auth role and minimize distractions from other roles.
In place of the "Measured" weight, they now include a
"MeasuredButAuthority" weight (not used by anything) so the bandwidth
authority's opinion on this relay can be recorded for posterity.
Resolves ticket 40698.
Change it to an "unreachable" error so the intro point can be retried

Bug 1: We were purporting to calculate milliseconds per tick, when we
*should* have been computing ticks per millisecond.
Bug 2: Instead of computing either one of those, we were _actually_
computing femtoseconds per tick.
These two bugs covered for one another on x86 hardware, where 1 tick
== 1 nanosecond. But on M1 OSX, 1 tick is about 41 nanoseconds,
causing surprising results.

Patch to address #40673. An additional check has been added to
onion_pending_add() in order to ensure that we avoid counting create
cells from clients.
In the cpuworker.c assign_onionskin_to_cpuworker
method if total_pending_tasks >= max_pending_tasks
and channel_is_client(circ->p_chan) returns false then
rep_hist_note_circuit_handshake_dropped() will be called and
rep_hist_note_circuit_handshake_assigned() will not be called. This
causes relays to run into errors due to the fact that the number of
dropped packets exceeds the total number of assigned packets.
To avoid this situation a check has been added to
onion_pending_add() to ensure that these erroneous calls to
rep_hist_note_circuit_handshake_dropped() are not made.
See the #40673 ticket for the conversation with armadev about this issue.
mike is concerned that we would get too much exposure to adversaries,
if we enforce that none of our L2 guards can be in the same family.
this change set now essentially finishes the feature that commit a77727cdc
was attempting to add, but strips the "_and_family" part of that plan.
We had omitted some checks for whether our vanguards (second layer
guards from proposal 333) overlapped or came from the same family.
Now make sure to pick each of them to be independent.

crash with an assertion failure if `low_timeout` was greater than

If not, the circuit is closed and another one is opened for a retry.

It is possible that a scheduled channel ended up with 0 bytes in its

Tor has configure libevent to attempt up to 3 times a DNS query for a
maximum of 5 seconds each. Once that 5 seconds has elapsed, it consider
the query "Timed Out" but tor only gets a timeout if all 3 attempts have
failed.
For example, using Unbound, it has a much higher threshold of timeout.
It is well defined in
https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/documentation/unbound/info-timeout/ and has
some complexity to it. But the gist is that if it times out, it will be
much more than 5 seconds.
And so the Tor DNS timeouts are more of a "UX issue" rather than a
"network issue". For this reason, we are removing this metric from the
overload general signal.

Fixes one case of bug 40472; resolves OSS-Fuzz 38363. Bugfix on
0.3.1.1-alpha when the consdiff parsing code was introduced.
When a new consensus method is negotiated, these values will all get
replaced with "2038-01-01 00:00:00".
This change should be safe because:
* As of 0.2.9.11 / 0.3.0.7 / 0.3.1.1-alpha, Tor takes no action
about published_on times in the future.
* The only remaining parties relying on published_on values are (we
believe) relays running 0.3.5.x, which rely on the values in a NS
consensus to see whether their descriptors are out of date. But
this patch only changes microdesc consensuses.
* The latest Tor no longer looks at this field in consensuses.
Why make this change? In experiments, replacing these values with a
fixed value made the size of compressed consensus diffs much much
smaller. (Like, by over 50%!)
Implements proposal 275; Implements #40130.
The connect failure cache had a bad interaction with retrying connections
to our guards or bridges when we go offline and then come back online --
while offline we would fail to connect and cache this result, and then
when we return we would decline to even attempt to connect, because our
failure cache said it wouldn't work.
Now only cache connect failures for relays when we connected to them
because of somebody else's EXTEND request.

When we don't yet have a descriptor for one of our bridges, disable
the entry guard retry schedule on that bridge. The entry guard retry
schedule and the bridge descriptor retry schedule can conflict,
e.g. where we mark a bridge as "maybe up" yet we don't try to fetch
its descriptor yet, leading Tor to wait (refusing to do anything)
until it becomes time to fetch the descriptor.

we do a notice-level log when we decide we *don't* have enough dir
info, but in 0.3.5.1-alpha (see commit eee62e13d9, #14950) we lost our
corresponding notice-level log when things come back.
bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha; fixes bug 40496.
When we try to fetch a bridge descriptor and we fail, we mark
the guard as failed, but we never scheduled a re-compute for
router_have_minimum_dir_info().
So if we had already decided we needed to wait for this new descriptor,
we would just wait forever -- even if, counterintuitively, *losing* the
bridge is just what we need to *resume* using the network, if we had it
in state GUARD_REACHABLE_MAYBE and we were stalling to learn this outcome.
See bug 40396 for more details.
When we looked, this was the third most frequent message at
PROTOCOL_WARN, and doesn't actually tell us what to do about it.
Now:
* we just log it at info
* we log it only once per circuit
* we report, in the heartbeat, how many times it happens, how many
cells it happens with per circuit, and how long these circuits
have been alive (on average).

With this commit, we will only report a general overload state if we've
seen more than X% of DNS timeout errors over Y seconds. Previous
behavior was to report when a single timeout occured which is really too
small of a threshold.
The value X is a consensus parameters called
"overload_dns_timeout_scale_percent" which is a scaled percentage
(factor of 1000) so we can represent decimal points for X like 0.5% for
instance. Its default is 1000 which ends up being 1%.
The value Y is a consensus parameters called
"overload_dns_timeout_period_secs" which is the time period for which
will gather DNS errors and once over, we assess if that X% has been
reached ultimately triggering a general overload signal.
