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.
We've been seeing problems with destroy cells queues taking up a
huge amount of RAM. We can mitigate this, since while a full packed
destroy cell takes 514 bytes, we only need 5 bytes to remember a
circuit ID and a reason.
Fixes bug 24666. Bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha, when destroy cell queues
were introduced.
TROVE-2017-12. Severity: Medium
When choosing a random node for a circuit, directly use our router
descriptor to exclude ourself instead of the one in the global
descriptor list. That list could be empty because tor could be
downloading them which could lead to not excluding ourself.
Closes#21534
TROVE-2017-13. Severity: High.
In the unlikely case that a hidden service could be missing intro circuit(s),
that it didn't have enough directory information to open new circuits and that
an intro point was about to expire, a use-after-free is possible because of
the intro point object being both in the retry list and expiring list at the
same time.
The intro object would get freed after the circuit failed to open and then
access a second time when cleaned up from the expiring list.
Fixes#24313
Going from 4 hours to 24 hours in order to try reduce the efficiency of guard
discovery attacks.

A circuit with purpose C_INTRODUCING means that its state is opened but the
INTRODUCE1 cell hasn't been sent yet. We shouldn't consider that circuit when
looking for timing out "building circuit". We have to wait on the rendezvous
circuit to be opened before sending that cell so the intro circuit needs to be
kept alive for at least that period of time.
This patch makes that the purpose C_INTRODUCING is ignored in the
circuit_expire_building() which means that we let the circuit idle timeout
take care of it if we end up never using it.
