This patch adds support for getting the unique process identifier from a
given process_t. This patch implements both support for both the Unix
and Microsoft Windows backend.

This patch adds support for Microsoft Windows in the Process subsystem.
Libevent does not support mixing different types of handles (sockets,
named pipes, etc.) on Windows in its core event loop code. This have
historically meant that Tor have avoided attaching any non-networking
handles to the event loop. This patch uses a slightly different approach
to roughly support the same features for the Process subsystem as we do
with the Unix backend.
In this patch we use Windows Extended I/O functions (ReadFileEx() and
WriteFileEx()) which executes asynchronously in the background and
executes a completion routine when the scheduled read or write operation
have completed. This is much different from the Unix backend where the
operating system signals to us whenever a file descriptor is "ready" to
either being read from or written to.
To make the Windows operating system execute the completion routines of
ReadFileEx() and WriteFileEx() we must get the Tor process into what
Microsoft calls an "alertable" state. To do this we execute SleepEx()
with a zero millisecond sleep time from a main loop timer that ticks
once a second. This moves the process into the "alertable" state and
when we return from the zero millisecond timeout all the outstanding I/O
completion routines will be called and we can schedule the next reads
and writes.
The timer loop is also responsible for detecting whether our child
processes have terminated since the last timer tick.

This patch adds the Unix backend for the Process subsystem. The Unix
backend attaches file descriptors from the child process's standard in,
out and error to Tor's libevent based main loop using traditional Unix
pipes. We use the already available `waitpid` module to get events
whenever the child process terminates.

This patch adds a new Process subsystem for running external programs in
the background of Tor. The design is focused around a new type named
`process_t` which have an API that allows the developer to easily write
code that interacts with the given child process. These interactions
includes:
- Easy API for writing output to the child process's standard input
handle.
- Receive callbacks whenever the child has output on either its standard
output or standard error handles.
- Receive callback when the child process terminates.
We also support two different "protocols" for handling output from the
child process. The default protocol is the "line" protocol where the
process output callbacks will be invoked only when there is complete
lines (either "\r\n" or "\n" terminated). We also support the "raw"
protocol where the read callbacks will get whatever the operating system
delivered to us in a single read operation.
This patch does not include any operating system backends, but the Unix
and Windows backends will be included in separate commits.

encoding and decoding.
There are bunches of places where we don't want to invest in a full
fuzzer, but we would like to make sure that some string operation
can handle all its possible inputs. This fuzzer uses the first byte
of its input to decide what to do with the rest of the input. Right
now, all the possibilities are decoding a string, and seeing whether
it is decodeable. If it is, we try to re-encode it and do the whole
thing again, to make sure we get the same result.
This turned up a lot of bugs in the key-value parser, and I think it
will help in other cases too.
Closes ticket 28808.
Additionally, use it to test that is_staledesc is set correctly.
Eventually we'll want to test all the other flags, but I'm aiming
for only adding coverage on the changed code here.
Because the test is adding entries to the "rend_cache" directly, the
rend_cache_increment_allocation() was never called which made the
rend_cache_clean() call trigger that underflow warning:
rend_cache/clean: [forking] Nov 29 09:55:04.024 [warn] rend_cache_decrement_allocation(): Bug: Underflow in rend_cache_decrement_allocation (on Tor 0.4.0.0-alpha-dev 2240fe63feb9a8cf)
The test is still good and valid.
Fixes#28660

The DormantClientTimeout option controls how long Tor will wait before
going dormant. It also provides a way to disable the feature by setting
DormantClientTimeout to e.g. "50 years".
The DormantTimeoutDisabledByIdleStreams option controls whether open but
inactive streams count as "client activity". To implement it, I had to
make it so that reading or writing on a client stream *always* counts as
activity.
Closes ticket 28429.
This patch has routers use the same canonicalization logic as
authorities when encoding their family lists. Additionally, they
now warn if any router in their list is given by nickname, since
that's error-prone.
This patch also adds some long-overdue tests for family formatting.
Prop298 says that family entries should be formatted with
$hexids in uppercase, nicknames in lower case, $hexid~names
truncated, and everything sorted lexically. These changes implement
that ordering for nodefamily.c.
We don't _strictly speaking_ need to nodefamily.c formatting use
this for prop298 microdesc generation, but it seems silly to have
two separate canonicalization algorithms.
