Two things needed to be changed. First, we used to set quiet_level
to the default (QUIET_NONE) when running tests, since we would not
call anything that acted based upon it. But since we sometimes call
options_init_logs(), we need to pre-set quiet_level to QUIET_SILENT
in the logs so that we don't add the default logs. This did not
cause test failure: just unwanted logs.
Second, we had a test that checked whether options_validate was
messing with options->Logs correctly. Since options_validate no
longer messes with the logs, we no longer want a test for this.
Formerly, we would use quiet_level as an excuse to rewrite the log
configuration, adding a default log line if none existed, and if
RunAsDaemon was not set, and if we were not being invoked via
setconf (!).
This is against our best practices for several reasons:
* We should not be changing configured options except when the
user tells us to do so.
* We should especially not be changing options in the options_validate
function.
* Distinguishing whether we are being called from setconf adds a
risky special-case.
Instead, this patch take a simpler approach: it changes the
interpretation of having no logging lines set to mean: If there is a
stdout, add a default log based on quiet_level.
Solves ticket 31999.
* actually sleep when tor has not logged anything
* log at debug level when waiting for tor to log something
* backslash-replace bad UTF-8 characters in logs
* format control messages as ASCII: tor does not accept UTF-8 control commands
Fixes bug 31837; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
This patch removes an overly strict tor_assert() and an ignorable BUG()
expression. Both of these would trigger if a PT was unable to configure
itself during startup. The easy way to trigger this is to configure an
obfs4 bridge where you make the obfs4 process try to bind on a port
number under 1024.

This patch adds a test to check for whether the exit callback is always
called when process_exec() fails, both on Windows and Unix.

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 used to have this function so that we could mark our initial
log-to-stdout as specifically temporary so that we would delete it
once regular logs were configured. But it's no longer necessary to
mark these logs as temporary, since we now use a mark-and-sweep
process to ensure that _all_ not-configured logs are closed when we
change our configuration.
Instead, this function will be the basis of a refactoring in how we
handle default logs.
