Adds a new api lws_vhost_destroy(struct lws_vhost *) which allows dynamic removal of vhosts.
The external api calls two parts of internal helpers that get reused for context destroy.
The second part is called deferred by 5s... this is to ensure that event library objects
composed into structs owned by the vhost all have a chance to complete their close
asynchronously. That should happen immediately, but it requires us to return to the
event loop first.
The vhost being removed is deleted from the context vhost list by the first part, and does
not block further removals or creation during the delay for the deferred freeing of the
vhost memory.
Part 1:
- if the vhost owned a listen socket needed by other vhosts listening on same iface + port, the listen
socket is first handed off to another vhost so it stays alive
- all wsi still open on the vhost are forcibly closed (including any listen socket still attached)
- inform all active protocols on the vhost they should destroy themselves
- remove vhost from context vhost list (can no longer be found by incoming connections)
- add to a "being destroyed" context list and schedule the second part to be called in 5s
Part 2:
- remove us from the being destroyed list
- free all allocations owned by the vhost
- zero down the vhost and free the vhost itself
In libwebsockets-test-server, you can send it a SIGUSR1 to have it toggle the creation and destruction of
a second vhost on port + 1.
1) This makes lwsws run a parent process with the original permissions.
But this process is only able to respond to SIGHUP, it doesn't do anything
else.
2) You can send this parent process a SIGHUP now to cause it to
- close listening sockets in existing lwsws processes
- mark those processes as to exit when the number of active connections
on the falls to zero
- spawn a fresh child process from scratch, using latest configuration
file content, latest plugins, etc. It can now reopen listening sockets
if it chooses to, or open different listen ports or whatever.
Notes:
1) lws_context_destroy() has been split into two pieces... the reason for
the split is the first part closes the per-vhost protocols, but since
they may have created libuv objects in the per-vhost protocol storage,
these cannot be freed until after the loop has been run.
That's the purpose of the second part of the context destruction,
lws_context_destroy2().
For compatibility, if you are not using libuv, the first part calls the
second part. However if you are using libuv, you must now call the
second part from your own main.c after the first part.
Thanks to Fabrice Gilot for reporting the problem that led to uncovering this.
Due to a misunderstanding of the return value of snprintf (it is not truncated according
to the max size passed in) in several places relying on snprintf to truncate the length
overflows are possible.
This patch wraps snprintf with a new lws_snprintf() which does truncate its length to allow
the buffer limiting scheme to work properly.
All users should update with these fixes.
This trades off a couple of wsi pointers for vastly increased speed
for the callback when writeable "all protocol" variants when there
are many kinds of wsi active.

This
1) fixes the vhost changes on master
2) works around the ah pool changes
3) fixes some other build problems that appeared
4) hacks out physical flow control for internal streams
5) updates the advertised protocol to h2 needed by, eg, chrome 51
That gets it able to serve small (<4K, ie, one packet) files over http2

This adds support for dynamically loaded plugins at runtime, which
can expose their own protocols or extensions transparently.
With these changes lwsws defaults to OFF in cmake, and if enabled it
automatically enables plugins and libuv support.
