Nick Mathewson b1d56fc589 Decouple ..attach_circuit() from most of its callers.
Long ago we used to call connection_ap_handshake_attach_circuit()
only in a few places, since connection_ap_attach_pending() attaches
all the pending connections, and does so regularly.  But this turned
out to have a performance problem: it would introduce a delay to
launching or connecting a stream.

We couldn't just call connection_ap_attach_pending() every time we
make a new connection, since it walks the whole connection list.  So
we started calling connection_ap_attach_pending all over, instead!
But that's kind of ugly and messes up our callgraph.

So instead, we now have connection_ap_attach_pending() use a list
only of the pending connections, so we can call it much more
frequently.  We have a separate function to scan the whole
connection array to see if we missed adding anything, and log a
warning if so.

o Code simplification and refactorings:
- Decouple the list of streams needing to be attached to circuits
from the overall connection list. This change makes it possible to
attach streams quickly while both simplifying Tor's callgraph and
avoiding O(N) scans of the entire connection list. Closes ticket
17590.
