Until now, there was this magic number (64) used as the maximum number
of tasks a CPU worker can take at once.
This commit makes it a consensus parameter so our future selves can
think of a better value depending on network conditions.

Transform the hardcoded value ONIONQUEUE_WAIT_CUTOFF into a consensus
parameter so we can control it network wide.

This also incidently removes a use of uninitialized stack data from the
connection_or_set_ext_or_identifier() function.

Change it to an "unreachable" error so the intro point can be retried
and not flagged as a failure and never retried again.

This adds two consensus parameters to control the outbound max circuit
queue cell size limit and how many times it is allowed to reach that
limit for a single client IP.

Directory authorities stop voting a consensus "Measured" weight
for relays with the Authority flag. Now these relays will be
considered unmeasured, which should reserve their bandwidth
for their dir auth role and minimize distractions from other roles.
In place of the "Measured" weight, they now include a
"MeasuredButAuthority" weight (not used by anything) so the bandwidth
authority's opinion on this relay can be recorded for posterity.
Resolves ticket 40698.
Bug 1: We were purporting to calculate milliseconds per tick, when we
*should* have been computing ticks per millisecond.
Bug 2: Instead of computing either one of those, we were _actually_
computing femtoseconds per tick.
These two bugs covered for one another on x86 hardware, where 1 tick
== 1 nanosecond. But on M1 OSX, 1 tick is about 41 nanoseconds,
causing surprising results.
Fixes bug 40684; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
Patch to address #40673. An additional check has been added to
onion_pending_add() in order to ensure that we avoid counting create
cells from clients.
In the cpuworker.c assign_onionskin_to_cpuworker
method if total_pending_tasks >= max_pending_tasks
and channel_is_client(circ->p_chan) returns false then
rep_hist_note_circuit_handshake_dropped() will be called and
rep_hist_note_circuit_handshake_assigned() will not be called. This
causes relays to run into errors due to the fact that the number of
dropped packets exceeds the total number of assigned packets.
To avoid this situation a check has been added to
onion_pending_add() to ensure that these erroneous calls to
rep_hist_note_circuit_handshake_dropped() are not made.
See the #40673 ticket for the conversation with armadev about this issue.
mike is concerned that we would get too much exposure to adversaries,
if we enforce that none of our L2 guards can be in the same family.
this change set now essentially finishes the feature that commit a77727cdc
was attempting to add, but strips the "_and_family" part of that plan.
We had omitted some checks for whether our vanguards (second layer
guards from proposal 333) overlapped or came from the same family.
Now make sure to pick each of them to be independent.
Fixes bug 40639; bugfix on 0.4.7.1-alpha.
Remove UPTIME_TO_GUARANTEE_STABLE, MTBF_TO_GUARANTEE_STABLE,
TIME_KNOWN_TO_GUARANTEE_FAMILIAR WFU_TO_GUARANTEE_GUARD and replace each
of them with a tunnable torrc option.
