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.
This also moves the warnings and add some theatrical effect around the
code so anyone modifying those list should notice the warnings signs and
read the comment accordingly.

Our code doesn't allow it and so this prevents an assert() crash if the
DirPort is for instance IPv6 only.
Fixes#40494

While trying to resolve our CI issues, the Windows build broke with an
unused function error:
src/test/test_switch_id.c:37:1: error: ‘unprivileged_port_range_start’
defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
We solve this by moving the `#if !defined(_WIN32)` test above the
`unprivileged_port_range_start()` function defintion such that it is
included in its body.
This is an unreviewed commit.
