Nick Mathewson d05022dea4 Treat expired/not-yet-valid directory objects as Errors.
Doing this will make us treat caches that send us these objects as
not-working, and close circuits to them instead of trying over and
over.

The case where we add a document from the cache requires special
handling: it isn't actually a error to find an expired document in
our cache (unless the passage of time itself is erroneous, which is
a debatable proposition at best).

Fixes #431.

tor-dirmgr: Code to fetch, store, and update Tor directory information.

Overview

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

In its current design, Tor requires a set of up-to-date authenticated directory documents in order to build multi-hop anonymized circuits through the network.

This directory manager crate is responsible for figuring out which directory information we lack, downloading what we're missing, and keeping a cache of it on disk.

Compile-time features

mmap (default) -- Use memory mapping to reduce the memory load for reading large directory objects from disk.

static -- Try to link with a static copy of sqlite3.

routerdesc -- (Incomplete) support for downloading and storing router descriptors.
