Allow calls to dup() which was introduced in commit a22fbab986.
From a security perspective, I don't think this should impact the
security of the sandbox significantly. As far as I can tell, there
is nothing an adversary can do with a duplicated FD that can't be
done with the original.
Doing so caused us to crash in some unusual circumstances, such as
using --verify-config to verify a configuration that failed during
the options_act() stage.
Fixes bug 32407; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
This patch fixes an issue where the exit handler is not called for the
given process_t in case CreateProcessA() fails. This could, for example,
happen if the user tries to execute a binary that does not exist.

This patch removes a call to tor_assert_unreached() after execve()
failed. This assertion leads to the child process emitting a stack trace
on its standard output, which makes the error harder for the user to
demystify, since they think it is an internal error in Tor instead of
"just" being a "no such file or directory" error.
The process will now instead output "Error from child process: X" where
X is the stringified version of the errno value.

We have a getaddrinfo() implementation that we prefer, and a
gethostbyname*() implementation that we fall back on. Give them
both the same interface, and let them be called by the same name.
This is a preparatory step for making them both mockable.
The documentation for this function says that the smartlist can
contain NULLs, but the code only handled NULLs if they were at the
start of the list.
We didn't notice this for a long time, because when Tor is run
normally, the sequence of msg_id_t is densely packed, and so this
list (mapping msg_id_t to channel_id_t) contains no NULL elements.
We could only run into this bug:
* when Tor was running in embedded mode, and starting more than once.
* when Tor ran first with more pubsub messages enabled, and then
later with fewer.
* When the second run (the one with fewer enabled pubsub messages)
had at least some messages enabled, and those messages were not
the ones with numerically highest msg_id_t values.
Fixes bug 31898; bugfix on 47de9c7b0a
in 0.4.1.1-alpha.
There is a bad design choice in two of our configuration types,
where the empty string encodes a value that is not the same as the
default value. This design choice, plus an implementation mistake,
meant that config_dup() did not preserve the value of routerset_t,
and thereby caused bug #31495.
This comment-only patch documents the two types with the problem,
and suggests that implementors try to avoid it in the future.
Closes ticket 31907.
