This patch is just:
* Code movement
* Adding headers here and there as needed
* Adding a bridges_free_all() with a call to it.
It breaks compilation, since the bridge code needed to make exactly
2 calls into entrynodes.c internals. I'll fix those in the next
commit.
OnionTrafficOnly is equivalent to NoDNSRequest, NoIPv4Traffic,
and NoIPv6Traffic.
Add unit tests for parsing and checking option validity.
Add documentation for each flag to the man page.
Add changes file for all of #18693.
Parsing only: the flags do not change client behaviour (yet!)
"Tor has included a feature to fetch the initial consensus from nodes
other than the authorities for a while now. We just haven't shipped a
list of alternate locations for clients to go to yet.
Reasons why we might want to ship tor with a list of additional places
where clients can find the consensus is that it makes authority
reachability and BW less important.
We want them to have been around and using their current key, address,
and port for a while now (120 days), and have been running, a guard,
and a v2 directory mirror for most of that time."
Features:
* whitelist and blacklist for an opt-in/opt-out trial.
* excludes BadExits, tor versions that aren't recommended, and low
consensus weight directory mirrors.
* reduces the weighting of Exits to avoid overloading them.
* places limits on the weight of any one fallback.
* includes an IPv6 address and orport for each FallbackDir, as
implemented in #17327. (Tor won't bootstrap using IPv6 fallbacks
until #17840 is merged.)
* generated output includes timestamps & Onionoo URL for traceability.
* unit test ensures that we successfully load all included default
fallback directories.
Closes ticket #15775. Patch by "teor".

Once tor is downloading a usable consensus, any other connection
attempts are not needed.
Choose a connection to keep, favouring:
* fallback directories over authorities,
* connections initiated earlier over later connections
Close all other connections downloading a consensus.
UseDefaultFallbackDirs enables any hard-coded fallback
directory mirrors. Default is 1, set it to 0 to disable fallbacks.
Implements ticket 17576.
Patch by "teor".
Update the code for IPv6 authorities and fallbacks for function
argument changes.
Update unit tests affected by the function argument changes in
the patch.
Add unit tests for authority and fallback:
* adding via a function
* line parsing
* adding default authorities
(Adding default fallbacks is unit tested in #15775.)
Unit tests for the 10 valid combinations of set/NULL config options
DirAuthorities, AlternateBridgeAuthority, AlternateDirAuthority,
and FallbackDir.
Add assertion in consider_adding_dir_servers() for checks in
validate_dir_servers():
"You cannot set both DirAuthority and Alternate*Authority."
The trick here is to apply mapaddress first, and only then apply
automapping. Otherwise, the automap checks don't get done.
Fix for bug 7555; bugfix on all versions of Tor supporting both
MapAddress and AutoMap.
