Ian Jackson 8d44ef05dc Provide ChannelUsage and plumb it all the way down
Channel padding depends on what the channel is being used for.  We
therefore need to let the channel code know this information.

The implementation of the per-channel padding control logic will be in
the new note_usage function, which for now is simply a stub.

A future commit will introduce a `PaddingControlState` which lives in
the channel frontend; consult the doc comment for that type to see why
the plumbing through the channel manager terminates in the channel
frontend.

tor-chanmgr: Manage a set of channels on the Tor network.

Overview

This crate is part of Arti, a project to implement Tor in Rust.

In Tor, a channel is a connection to a Tor relay. It can be direct via TLS, or indirect via TLS over a pluggable transport. (For now, only direct channels are supported.)

Since a channel can be used for more than one circuit, it's important to reuse channels when possible. This crate implements a [ChanMgr] type that can be used to create channels on demand, and return existing channels when they already exist.
