When decoding a base-{16,32,64} value, clear the target buffer first
This is a good idea in case the caller stupidly doesn't check the
return value from baseX_decode(), and as a workaround for the
current inconsistent API of base16_decode.

clients now send correct address for rendezvous point
Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous point
when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send the wrong
address, which would still work some of the time because they also
sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if the hidden
service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous point from a relay
that already had a connection open to it, the relay would reuse that
connection. Now connections to hidden services should be more robust
and faster. Also, this bug meant that clients were leaking to the hidden
service whether they were on a little-endian (common) or big-endian (rare)
system, which for some users might have reduced their anonymity.

Reduce log severity for unused ClientTransportPlugin lines
Tor Browser includes several ClientTransportPlugin lines in its
torrc-defaults file, leading every Tor Browser user who looks at her
logs to see these notices and wonder if they're dangerous.

In routerlist_assert_ok(), check r2 before taking &(r2->cache_info)
Technically, we're not allowed to take the address of a member can't

balrogs lie.

Resume expanding abbreviations for command-line options
The fix for bug 4647 accidentally removed our hack from bug 586 that
rewrote HashedControlPassword to __HashedControlSessionPassword when
it appears on the commandline (which allowed the user to set her own
HashedControlPassword in the torrc file while the controller generates
a fresh session password for each run).

Fix another case of 12848 in circuit_handle_first_hop
I looked for other places where we set circ->n_chan early, and found
one in circuit_handle_first_hop() right before it calls
circuit_send_next_onion_skin(). If onion_skin_create() fails there,
then n_chan will still be set when circuit_send_next_onion_skin()
returns. We should probably fix that too.
Build circuits more readily when DisableNetwork goes to 0
When Tor starts with DisabledNetwork set, it would correctly
conclude that it shouldn't try making circuits, but it would
mistakenly cache this conclusion and continue believing it even
when DisableNetwork is set to 0. Fixes the bug introduced by the
fix for bug 11200; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
Explicitly disable RunAsDaemon in the systemd unit file (#12731).
Our current systemd unit uses "Type = simple", so systemd does not expect tor to
fork. If the user has "RunAsDaemon 1" in their torrc, then things won't work as
expected. This is e.g. the case on Debian (and derivatives), since there we pass
"--defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc" (that contains
"RunAsDaemon 1") by default.
The only solution I could find is to explicitly pass "--RunAsDaemon 0" when
starting tor from the systemd unit file, which this commit does.

Warn and drop the circuit if we receive an inbound 'relay early' cell

Avoid illegal read off end of an array in prune_v2_cipher_list
This function is supposed to construct a list of all the ciphers in
the "v2 link protocol cipher list" that are supported by Tor's
openssl. It does this by invoking ssl23_get_cipher_by_char on each
two-byte ciphersuite ID to see which ones give a match. But when
ssl23_get_cipher_by_char cannot find a match for a two-byte SSL3/TLS
ciphersuite ID, it checks to see whether it has a match for a
three-byte SSL2 ciphersuite ID. This was causing a read off the end
of the 'cipherid' array.
This was probably harmless in practice, but we shouldn't be having
any uninitialized reads.
(Using ssl23_get_cipher_by_char in this way is a kludge, but then
again the entire existence of the v2 link protocol is kind of a
kludge. Once Tor 0.2.2 clients are all gone, we can drop this code
entirely.)

Raise guard threshold to top 25% or 2000 kilounits
Authorities now assign the Guard flag to the fastest 25% of the
network (it used to be the fastest 50%). Also raise the consensus
weight that guarantees the Guard flag from 250 to 2000. For the
current network, this results in about 1100 guards, down from 2500.
This step paves the way for moving the number of entry guards
down to 1 (proposal 236) while still providing reasonable expected
performance for most users.
