Tor has configure libevent to attempt up to 3 times a DNS query for a
maximum of 5 seconds each. Once that 5 seconds has elapsed, it consider
the query "Timed Out" but tor only gets a timeout if all 3 attempts have
failed.
For example, using Unbound, it has a much higher threshold of timeout.
It is well defined in
https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/documentation/unbound/info-timeout/ and has
some complexity to it. But the gist is that if it times out, it will be
much more than 5 seconds.
And so the Tor DNS timeouts are more of a "UX issue" rather than a
"network issue". For this reason, we are removing this metric from the
overload general signal.

From LibreSSL versions 3.2.1 through 3.4.0, our configure script
would conclude that TLSv1.3 as supported, but it actually wasn't.
This led to annoying breakage like #40128 and #40445.
Now we give an error message if we try to build with one of those
versions.
Closes#40511.
Previously the logic was reversed, and always gave the wrong answer.
This has no other effect than to change whether we suppress
deprecated API warnings.
Fixes#40429; bugfix on 0.3.5.13.
Mingw headers sometimes like to define alternative scanf/printf
format attributes depending on whether they're using clang, UCRT,
MINGW_ANSI_STDIO, or the microsoft version of printf/scanf. This
change attempts to use the right one on the given platform.
This is an attempt to fix part of #40355.
Our code doesn't allow it and so this prevents an assert() crash if the
DirPort is for instance IPv6 only.

When we don't yet have a descriptor for one of our bridges, disable
the entry guard retry schedule on that bridge. The entry guard retry
schedule and the bridge descriptor retry schedule can conflict,
e.g. where we mark a bridge as "maybe up" yet we don't try to fetch
its descriptor yet, leading Tor to wait (refusing to do anything)
until it becomes time to fetch the descriptor.
Fixes bug 40497; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
we do a notice-level log when we decide we *don't* have enough dir
info, but in 0.3.5.1-alpha (see commit eee62e13d9, #14950) we lost our
corresponding notice-level log when things come back.
bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha; fixes bug 40496.
When we try to fetch a bridge descriptor and we fail, we mark
the guard as failed, but we never scheduled a re-compute for
router_have_minimum_dir_info().
So if we had already decided we needed to wait for this new descriptor,
we would just wait forever -- even if, counterintuitively, *losing* the
bridge is just what we need to *resume* using the network, if we had it
in state GUARD_REACHABLE_MAYBE and we were stalling to learn this outcome.
See bug 40396 for more details.
When we looked, this was the third most frequent message at
PROTOCOL_WARN, and doesn't actually tell us what to do about it.
Now:
* we just log it at info
* we log it only once per circuit
* we report, in the heartbeat, how many times it happens, how many
cells it happens with per circuit, and how long these circuits
have been alive (on average).
Fixes the final part of #40400.
