Since 0.2.4, tor uses EWMA circuit policy to prioritize. The previous
algorithm, round-robin, hasn't been used since then but was still used as a
fallback.
Now that EWMA is mandatory, remove that code entirely and enforce a cmux
policy to be set.
This is part of a circuitmux cleanup to improve performance and reduce
complexity in the code. We'll be able to address future optimization with this
work.

To achieve this, a default value for the CircuitPriorityHalflife option was
needed. We still look in the options and then the consensus but in case no
value can be found, the default CircuitPriorityHalflifeMsec=30000 is used. It
it the value we've been using since 0.2.4.4-alpha.
This means that EWMA, our only policy, can not be disabled anymore fallbacking
to the round robin algorithm. Unneeded code to control that is removed in this
commit.

On slow system, 1 msec between one read and the other was too tight. For
instance, it failed on armel with a 4msec gap:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=tor&suite=experimental
Increase to 10 msec for now to address slow system. It is important that we
keep this OP_LE test in so we make sure the msec/usec/nsec read aren't
desynchronized by huge gaps. We'll adjust again if we ever encounter a system
that goes slower than 10 msec between calls.

If the cache is using 20% of our maximum allowed memory, clean 10% of it. Same
behavior as the HS descriptor cache.

The current code flow makes it that we can release a channel in a PENDING
state but not in the pending list. This happens while the channel is being
processed in the scheduler loop.

This tests many cases of the KIST scheduler with the pending list state by
calling entry point in the scheduler while channels are scheduled or not.
Also, it adds a test for the bug #24700.

In 0.3.2.1-alpha, we've added notify_networkstatus_changed() in order to have
a way to notify other subsystems that the consensus just changed. The old and
new consensus are passed to it.
Before this patch, this was done _before_ the new consensus was set globally
(thus NOT accessible by getting the latest consensus). The scheduler
notification was assuming that it was set and select_scheduler() is looking at
the latest consensus to get the parameters it might needs. This was very wrong
because at that point it is still the old consensus set globally.
This commit changes the notify_networkstatus_changed() to be the "before"
function and adds an "after" notification from which the scheduler subsystem
is notified.
Fixes#24975
When we stopped looking at the "protocols" variable directly, we
broke the hs_service/build_update_descriptors test, since it didn't
actually update any of the flags.
The fix here is to call summarize_protover_flags() from that test,
and to expose summarize_protover_flags() as "STATIC" from
routerparse.c.
Since helper_create_introduce1_cell() checks "cell" for nullness,
scan-build is concerned that test_introduce1_validation()
dereferences it without checking it. So, add a check.
Not backporting, since this is spurious, _and_ tests-only.
These are all about local variables shadowing global
functions. That isn't normally a problem, but at least one
compiler we care about seems to treat this as a case of -Wshadow
violation, so let's fix it.
Fixes bug 24634; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
Using tt_assert in these helpers was implying to scan-build that our
'new' functions might be returning NULL, which in turn would make it
warn about null-pointer use.
