- Schedule multiple in-progress consensus downloads during client
bootstrap. Use the first one that starts downloading, close the
rest. This reduces failures when authorities are slow or down.
Together with the code for feature 15775, it reduces failures due to fallback churn.
Implements ticket 4483 (reduce failures when authorities are down).

Implements IPv4 portions of proposal 210 by "mikeperry" and

o Major features (controller):
- New "GETINFO hs/service/desc/id/" command to retrieve a hidden service
descriptor from a service's local hidden service descriptor cache.
Closes ticket 14846.
- New "GETINFO hs/service/desc/id/" command to retrieve a hidden
service descriptor from a service's local hidden service
descriptor cache. Closes ticket 14846.
o Major features (directory mirrors):
- Include an opt-in trial list of Default Fallback Directories in
add_default_fallback_dir_servers(). Doing this should improve
add_default_fallback_dir_servers(). Doing this should improve
client reliability and initial bootstrap performance, and reduce
load on the directory authorities.

o Major features (relay):
- When Tor is started as root on Linux and told to switch user ID, it
can now retain the capabilitity to bind to low ports. By default,
Tor will do this only when it's switching user ID and some low
ports have been configured. You can change this behavior with
the new option KeepBindCapabilities. Closes ticket 8195.

with the new option KeepBindCapabilities. Closes ticket 8195.
o Minor features (security):
- Adjust Tor's use of OpenSSL's RNG APIs so that they absolutely,
positively are not allowed to fail. Previously we depended on
internals about OpenSSL behavior. Closes ticket 17686.
- Never use the system entropy output directly for anything besides
seeding the PRNG. When we want to generate important keys, instead
of using system entropy directly, hash it with the PRNG stream.
This may help resist certain attacks based on broken OS entropy
implementations. Closes part of ticket 17694.
- Set unused entires in a smartlist to NULL. This helped catch
a (harmless) bug, and shouldn't affect performance too much.
Implements ticket 17026.
- Use SecureMemoryWipe() function to securely clean memory on
Windows. Implements feature 17986.
- Use explicit_bzero or memset_s when present. Previously, we'd use
OpenSSL's OPENSSL_cleanse() function. Closes ticket 7419; patches
from <logan@hackers.mu> and <selven@hackers.mu>.
o Minor features (security, clock):
- Warn when the system clock is set back in time (when the state
file was last written in the future). Tor doesn't know that
consensuses have expired if the clock is in the past. Patch by
"teor". Implements ticket 17188.
o Minor features (security, cryptography):
- Use modern system calls to generate strong entropy on platforms
that provide them. Closes ticket 13696.
o Minor feature (crypto):
- Add SHA512 support to crypto.c. Closes ticket 17663; patch from

bootstrapping. (A similar change was made in 6c443e987d for
directory servers chosen from the consensus.)

o Minor feature (IPv6):
- Add a flag ipv6=address:orport to the DirAuthority and FallbackDir torrc
options. Add hard-coded ipv6 addresses for directory authorities with
ipv6 lines in their descriptors.

it's almost always a bug.

o Minor feature (logging):
- When logging to syslog, allow a tag to be added to the syslog
identity ("Tor"), i.e. the string prepended to every log message.
The tag can be configured by setting SyslogIdentityTag and defaults
to none. Setting it to "foo" will cause logs to be tagged as
"Tor-foo". Closes ticket 17194.

o Minor features (crypto):
- When allocating a digest state object, allocate no more space than we
actually need. Previously, we were allocating as much space as the
state for the largest algorithm would need. This change saves up to
672 bytes per circuit. Closes ticket 17796.

o Minor features (directory system):
- Previously only relays who explicitly opened a directory port (DirPort)
accepted directory requests from clients. Now all relays, with and without
a DirPort, who do not disable the DirCache option accept and serve
directory requests sent (tunnelled) through their ORPort.

o Minor features (exit policies, controllers):
- Add controller getinfo exit-policy/reject-private/[default,relay]

filesystem group is allowed to be either the default GID or the root

- Decouple the list of streams needing to be attached to circuits
from the overall connection list. This change makes it possible to
attach streams quickly while both simplifying Tor's callgraph and
avoiding O(N) scans of the entire connection list. Closes ticket
17590.

- When a direct directory request fails immediately on launch,
instead of relaunching that request from inside the code that
launches it, instead mark the connection for teardown. This
change simplifies Tor's callback and prevents the directory-
request launching code from invoking itself recursively.

o Removed features:
- Remove client-side support for connecting to Tor servers running
versions of Tor before 0.2.3.6-alpha. These servers didn't
support the v3 TLS handshake protocol, and are no longer allowed
on the Tor network. Implements the client side of ticket
11150. Based on patches by Tom van der Woerdt.

- Remove code for OpenSSL dynamic locks; OpenSSL doesn't use them.
