* ADD a new macro, tor_util::string::cstr!() which takes Rust strings,
concatenates them together, appends a NUL byte, and converts it into a
std::ffi::CStr for handing to C.
* FIXES#25127: https://bugs.torproject.org/25127
* ADDS a new module to the Rust tor_util crate for small utilities
for working with static strings between languages.
* CHANGES the return type of protover_compute_for_old_tor to point to
immutable data.
* CHANGES the code from the previous commit to use the new static
string utilities.
This adds a couple of configure commands to control whether we're
requiring all dependencies to be available locally (default) or not
(--enable-cargo-online-mode). When building from a tarball, we require
the RUST_DEPENDENCIES variable to point to the local repository of
crates. This also adds src/ext/rust as a git submodule that contains
such a local repository for easy setup.
Passing --enable-cargo-online-mode during configure allows cargo to make
network requests while building Tor or running tests. If this flag is
not supplied, the dependencies need to be available in the form of a
local mirror.
This gives an indication in the log that Tor was built with Rust
support, as well as laying some groundwork for further string-returning
APIs to be converted to Rust
