This feature allows us to detect different failing cases for
arti#329 that would otherwise be hard to induce. It works by
filtering consensus directory objects and/or microdescriptor objects
before introducing them to the directory manager.
Closes#397.
This commit adds support for a BrokenTcp provider that can make
connection attempts fail or time out. It doesn't yet have a way to
turn on the failure.
This commit adds a new program to try to implement the ideas behind
experimentation in arti#329. In particular, it tries to implement
basic client "can I bootstrap and connect" functionality testing,
with a lot of instrumentation, and support for breaking things.
So far, the instrumentation is limited to counting TCP bytes and
connections, and counting events. Still, this is enough to measure
behavior on some of the incorrect-clock tests.
NOTE:
For now, you are _required_ to pass in an explicit configuration, in
hopes that this will lead you to override your storage directories
for doing specific experiments.
