Fortunately, use_cached_ipv4_answers was already 0, so we wouldn't
actually use this info, but it's best not to have it.

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-2017-12. Severity: Medium
Thankfully, tor will close any circuits that we try to extend to
ourselves so this is not problematic but annoying.
Part of #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.

The goal here is to replace our use of msec-based timestamps with
something less precise, but easier to calculate. We're doing this
because calculating lots of msec-based timestamps requires lots of
64/32 division operations, which can be inefficient on 32-bit
platforms.
We make sure that these stamps can be calculated using only the
coarse monotonic timer and 32-bit bitwise operations.
This removed code that was either never reached or irrelevant after the
incoming/outgoing queue removal such as the "timestamp_drained".
Lots of things are also removed from channel.h that do not exists anymore or
not used.

If the channel layer failed to write a cell from the circuit queue, requeue it
so it can be retried on the same channel later.

The channel_write_cell() and channel_write_var_cell() can't be possibly called
nor are used by tor. We only write on the connection outbuf packed cell coming
from the scheduler that takes them from the circuit queue.
This makes channel_write_packed_cell() the only usable function. It is
simplify and now returns a code value. The reason for this is that in the next
commit(s), we'll re-queue the cell onto the circuit queue if the write fails.
Finally, channel unit tests are being removed with this commit because they do
not match the new semantic. They will be re-written in future commits.

The channel subsystem was doing a whole lot to track and try to predict the
channel queue size but they are gone due to previous commit.

For the rationale, see ticket #23709.
This is a pretty massive commit. Those queues were everywhere in channel.c and
it turns out that it was used by lots of dead code.
The channel subsystem *never* handles variable size cell (var_cell_t) or
unpacked cells (cell_t). The variable ones are only handled in channeltls and
outbound cells are always packed from the circuit queue so this commit removes
code related to variable and unpacked cells.
However, inbound cells are unpacked (cell_t), that is untouched and is handled
via channel_process_cell() function.
In order to make the commit compile, test have been modified but not passing
at this commit. Also, many tests have been removed but better improved ones
get added in future commits.
This commit also adds a XXX: which indicates that the handling process of
outbound cells isn't fully working. This as well is fixed in a future commit.
Finally, at this commit, more dead code remains, it will be cleanup in future
commits.

This function is part of the tor fast path so this commit adds more

This code is 4+ years old related to bug #9072 so if we ever want to revisit

This applies the changes in 23524 to num_usable_bridges(), because it has
replaced any_bridge_descriptors_known().
The original changes file still applies.
Stop checking for bridge descriptors when we actually want to know if
any bridges are usable. This avoids potential bootstrapping issues.
Fixes bug 24367; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Stop stalling when bridges are changed at runtime. Stop stalling when
old bridge descriptors are cached, but they are not in use.
Fixes bug 24367; bugfix on 23347 in 0.3.2.1-alpha.
