Some days before this commit, the network experienced a DDoS on the directory
authorities that prevented them to generate a consensus for more than 5 hours
straight.
That in turn entirely disabled onion service v3, client and service side, due
to the subsystem requiring a live consensus to function properly.
We know require a reasonably live consensus which means that the HSv3
subsystem will to its job for using the best consensus tor can find. If the
entire network is using an old consensus, than this should be alright.
If the service happens to use a live consensus while a client is not, it
should still work because the client will use the current SRV it sees which
might be the previous SRV for the service for which it still publish
descriptors for.
If the service is using an old one and somehow can't get a new one while
clients are on a new one, then reachability issues might arise. However, this
is a situation we already have at the moment since the service will simply not
work if it doesn't have a live consensus while a client has one.

Stop leaking parts of the shared random state in the shared-random unit
tests. The previous fix in 29599 was incomplete.
Fixes bug 29706; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
There are now separate modules for:
* the list of router descriptors
* the list of authorities and fallbacks
* managing authority certificates
* selecting random nodes
Bug description: For each descriptor, its revision counter is the OPE
ciphertext of the number of seconds since the start time of its SRV value.
This bug caused us to confuse the SRV start time in the middle of the lifetime
of a descriptor in some edge-cases, which caused descriptor rejects.
Bug cause: The bug occurs when we fetch a 23:00 consensus after
midnight (e.g. at 00:08 when not all dirauths have fetched the latest 00:00
consensus). In that case, the voting schedule (which was used for SRV start
time calculation) would return a valid-after past-midnight, whereas our
consensus would be pre-midnight, and that would confuse the SRV start time
computation which is used by HS revision counters (because we would reset the
start time of SRV, without rotating descriptors).
Bug fix: We now use our local consensus time to calculate the SRV start time,
instead of the voting schedule. The voting schedule does not work as originally
envisioned in this case, because it was created for voting by dirauths and not
for scheduling stuff on clients.
The following bug was causing many issues for this branch in chutney:
In sr_state_get_start_time_of_current_protocol_run() we were using the
consensus valid-after to calculate beginning_of_current_round, but we were
using time(NULL) to calculate the current_round slot. This was causing time
sync issues when the consensus valid-after and time(NULL) were disagreeing on
what the current round is. Our fix is to use the consensus valid-after in both
places.
This also means that we are not using 'now' (aka time(NULL)) anymore in that
function, and hence we can remove that argument from the function (and its
callers). I'll do this in the next commit so that we keep things separated.
Furthermore, we fix a unittest that broke.
By doing so, it is renamed to voting_schedule_recalculate_timing(). This
required a lot of changes to include voting_schedule.h everywhere that this
function was used.
This effectively now makes voting_schedule.{c|h} not include dirauth/dirvote.h
for that symbol and thus no dependency on the dirauth module anymore.

This is a pretty big commit but it only moves these files to src/or/dirauth:
dircollate.c dirvote.c shared_random.c shared_random_state.c
dircollate.h dirvote.h shared_random.h shared_random_state.h
Then many files are modified to change the include line for those header files
that have moved into a new directory.
Without using --disable-module-dirauth, everything builds fine. When using the
flag to disable the module, tor doesn't build due to linking errors. This will
be addressed in the next commit(s).
No code behavior change.
