Old certs were getting near the end of their life and we switched the
server to use letsencrypt. The root and intermediate needed for the
mbedtls case changed accordingly
wsi timeout, wsi hrtimer, sequencer timeout and vh-protocol timer
all now participate on a single sorted us list.
The whole idea of polling wakes is thrown out, poll waits ignore the
timeout field and always use infinite timeouts.
Introduce a public api that can schedule its own callback from the event
loop with us resolution (usually ms is all the platform can do).
Upgrade timeouts and sequencer timeouts to also be able to use us resolution.
Introduce a prepared fakewsi in the pt, so we don't have to allocate
one on the heap when we need it.
Directly handle vh-protocol timer if LWS_MAX_SMP == 1
There are quite a few linked-lists of things that want events after
some period. This introduces a type binding an lws_dll2 for the
list and a lws_usec_t for the duration.
The wsi timeouts, the hrtimer and the sequencer timeouts are converted
to use these, also in the common event wait calculation.
When creating the stream from the nwsi, the stream was created with
its own user_space that gets overwritten with the nwsi one as it is
demoted to be the stream.
Stop that leaking.
lws_dll2 removes the downsides of lws_dll and adds new features like a
running member count and explicit owner type... it's cleaner and more
robust (eg, nodes know their owner, so they can casually switch between
list owners and remove themselves without the code knowing the owner).
This deprecates lws_dll, but since it's public it allows it to continue
to be built for 4.0 release if you give cmake LWS_WITH_DEPRECATED_LWS_DLL.
All remaining internal users of lws_dll are migrated to lws_dll2.
Until now we parse HEAD requests but don't properly fulfil them.
This adds enough that if the request pointed to a valid mount,
it will send the headers and complete the transaction without
sending the body.
Test with
$ (echo -n -e "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: default\r\n\r\n"; sleep 2) | nc 127.0.0.1 7681
It's legal and does something important, if the upgrade fails and stays in http,
it describes how the connection should be handled after sending the error code.
But most ws servers can't cope with it...

"dead bodies" that were sent but not processed by lws as server
will clog up and destroy transaction tracking if repeated POSTs
with keepalive are sent to nonexistant paths.
This patch introduces a DISCARD_BODY state that follows BODY
except the payload is not signalled to the protocol callback.
Calling transaction_completed() with pending body makes lws
enter DISCARD_BODY and retry transaction completed only after
the pending body is exhausted.
When creating a vhost and the port is already bound to another process
this flag would allow the user code to choose to have the
lws_create_vhost function to fail and return a null pointer.
An lws context usually contains a processwide fd -> wsi lookup table.
This allows any possible fd returned by a *nix type OS to be immediately
converted to a wsi just by indexing an array of struct lws * the size of
the highest possible fd, as found by ulimit -n or similar.
This works modestly for Linux type systems where the default ulimit -n for
a process is 1024, it means a 4KB or 8KB lookup table for 32-bit or
64-bit systems.
However in the case your lws usage is much simpler, like one outgoing
client connection and no serving, this represents increasing waste. It's
made much worse if the system has a much larger default ulimit -n, eg 1M,
the table is occupying 4MB or 8MB, of which you will only use one.
Even so, because lws can't be sure the OS won't return a socket fd at any
number up to (ulimit -n - 1), it has to allocate the whole lookup table
at the moment.
This patch looks to see if the context creation info is setting
info->fd_limit_per_thread... if it leaves it at the default 0, then
everything is as it was before this patch. However if finds that
(info->fd_limit_per_thread * actual_number_of_service_threads) where
the default number of service threads is 1, is less than the fd limit
set by ulimit -n, lws switches to a slower lookup table scheme, which
only allocates the requested number of slots. Lookups happen then by
iterating the table and comparing rather than indexing the array
directly, which is obviously somewhat of a performance hit.
However in the case where you know lws will only have a very few wsi
maximum, this method can very usefully trade off speed to be able to
avoid the allocation sized by ulimit -n.
minimal examples for client that can make use of this are also modified
by this patch to use the smaller context allocations.

Although the code exists for non-tls h1 upgrade to h2, it hasn't been looked
after since all expected uses for h2 are going to be via h2 / alpn.
This patch aligns its upgrade actions with alpn upgrade path so it works OK
via
$ curl --http2 http://localhost:7681/ -v -w "\n"
ie, without tls. Operation via tls is unaffected.
To use the non-tls upgrade path, you have to be listening without tls, ie with the
test server without -s. If you're listening in a way that requires tls, this
can't be used to bypass that (or, eg, client certs) in itself, since you have to be
able to talk to it in h1 in the first place to attempt the upgrade to h2.
The common h2 path has some code to dropping the ah unconditionally it looks
like after the first service... this is too aggressive since the first thing
coming on the upgrade path is WINDOW_UPDATE. It looks wrong anyway, transaction /
stream completion will drop the ah and should be enough.
Generic sessions has been overdue some love to align it with
the progress in the rest of lws.
1) Strict Content Security Policy
2) http2 compatibility
3) fixes and additions for use in a separate process via unix domain socket
4) work on ws and http proxying in lws
5) add minimal example
