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.
This adds a context creation-time member that points to something
that should be freed when the context is destroyed.
It's in preparation for context deprecation, when a context might
be destroyed asynchronously... a related external with the
lifetime of thee context should also be freed at that time.
Adapt lwsws to use it with the context "strings" (also used for
aligned structs created by the config) allocation.
This adds a new member to the context creation info struct "ws_ping_pong_interval".
If nonzero, it sets the number of seconds that established ws connections are
allowed to be idle before a PING is forced to be sent. If zero (the default) then
tracking of idle connection is disabled for backwards compatibility.
Timeouts cover both the period between decision to send the ping and it being
sent (because it needs the socket to become writeable), and the period between
the ping being sent and the PONG coming back.
INFO debug logs are issues when the timeout stuff is operating.
You can test the server side by running the test server hacked to set ws_ping_pong_interval
and debug log mask of 15. Both the mirror protocol and the server-status protocol are
idle if nothing is happening and will trigger the PING / PONG testing. (You can also
test using lwsws and /etc/lwsws/conf with "ws-pingpong-secs": "20" in the global section)
For client, run the test client with -n -P 20 for 20s interval. -n stops the test client
writing using the mirror protocol, so it will be idle and trigger the PING / PONGs.
The timeout interval may be up to +10s late, as lws checks for affected connections every
10s.
It's going to be much easier to transition to lwsws
if the example config exactly matches what used to be
seen from the default test server.

Also add lwsws "enable-client-ssl": "1" vhost option to match.
Client cert iclient ssl is not supported in lwsws, if someone wants it, it can be added.

Actually lwsws doesn't need his own protocol handler even for http
any more. The default http handler in lws should do everything.
Move the cgi routing into lws default http protocol handler, and
delete lwsws one. Remove all protocols from lwsws so the lws
default one gets used.
With this, and the earlier move of lejp into lws, lwsws itself
becomes 15.5KB of x86_64 (mainly conf parsing).

lejp is already in lws as part of lwsws. However it's too generally useful
to just put directly in lwsws, it will lead to multiple copies of the source
in differet subprojects.
This moves it directly into lws, lwsws now gets it from there.
Like lwsws, by default at cmake it is disabled. Selecting LWS_WITH_LWSWS now
selects LWS_WITH_LEJP and you can set that at cmake individually as well.

If OOT lws plugins will be packaged as separate projects,
they're going to want to install their plugins somewhere
that makes sense for the package instead of one big lws
plugin dir.
This patch changes info to have a const char ** to a NULL
terminated array of directories it should search for
plugins. lwsws knows about this and you can add to the
dir array using config fragments like
{
"global": {
"plugin-dir": "/usr/local/share/coherent-timeline/plugins"
}
}
if the config fragment in /etc/lwsws/conf.d/ is also managed by the
package with the plugin, it can very cleanly add and remove itself
from lwsws based on package install status.

There's no reason to not have the mounts linked list init also in the info
struct, rather than provide as a paramater to lws_create_vhost(). Now
is a good time to normalize that since this api only exists in master.
This also allows oldstyle "do everything at context creation time in one
vhost" guys to leverage mounts.
Also there's no reason the mounts linked-list pointer and all uses in lws
are non-const, so make them all explicitly const *.
Update the info struct docs to clarify which members are used when creating
a vhost and which for context creation.

resource_path is configured at cmake time (it's like /usr/share/libwebsockets-test-server)

This allows mounts to define the caching policy of the files inside them.
Support is added in lwsws for controlling it from the config files.
The api for serializing a mount struct opaquely is removed and lws_http_mount struct
made public... it was getting out of control trying to hide the options.

This adds the ability to store apache-compatible logs to a file given at
vhost-creation time.
lwsws conf can set it per-vhost using "access-log": "<filepath>"
The feature defaults to disabled at cmake, it can be set independently but
LWS_WITH_LWSWS set it on.

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

scandir usage in
- lwsws conf.c
- lws plugin support
and
- lws plugin apis for dl
are converted to us libuv apis so they can work cross-platform easily.
lws itself remains not requiring libuv, although it's an option.
- LWS_WITH_LWSWS
- LWS_WITH_PLUGINS
now force LWS_WITH_LIBUV if selected... both of these are new features
only in master atm and both are off by default in CMake.
There's a complication libuv can be too old to offer the necessary apis,
this is the case in Travis Trusty instance. In that case, UV_VERSION_MAJOR ==0,
then the unix-only plugin implementation is used instead.

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.

This makes a start on the LibWebSockets WebServer.
The app cmake build support and JSON config parsing are implemented and
the app can start, create the vhosts, listen and serve file:// mounts on
them.
