A bunch of packages (including oohelperd) just need the ability to
use MaxMind-like databases. They don't need the additional functionality
implemented by the geolocate package. Such a package, in fact, is
mostly (if not only) needed by the engine package.
Therefore, move code to query MaxMind-like databases to a separate
package, and avoid depending on geolocate in all the packages for
which it's sufficient to use geoipx.

This diff modifies the engine package to make Experiment and
ExperimentBuilder interfaces rather than structs.
The previosuly existing structs are now named experiment{,Builder}.
This diff helps https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2184
because it allows us to write unit tests more easily.
There should be no functional change.
While there, I removed a bunch of deprecated functions, which were
unnecessarily complicate the implementation and could be easily
replaced by passing them a context.Context or context.Background().
For testability, replace most if-based construction logic with
calls to well-tested factories living in other packages.
While there, acknowledge that a bunch of types could now be private
and make them private, modifying the code to call the public
factories allowing to construct said types instead.

* Passed the TestHelpers field to RunAsyc and MeasureAsync. This reflects the test_helpers in the measurement.
* Spec already contains the correct output.

This diff contains significant improvements over the previous
implementation of the torsf experiment.
We add support for configuring different rendezvous methods after
the convo at https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2004. In doing
that, I've tried to use a terminology that is consistent with the
names being actually used by tor developers.
In terms of what to do next, this diff basically instruments
torsf to always rendezvous using domain fronting. Yet, it's also
possible to change the rendezvous method from the command line,
when using miniooni, which allows to experiment a bit more. In the
same vein, by default we use a persistent tor datadir, but it's
also possible to use a temporary datadir using the cmdline.
Here's how a generic invocation of `torsf` looks like:
```bash
./miniooni -O DisablePersistentDatadir=true \
-O RendezvousMethod=amp \
-O DisableProgress=true \
torsf
```
(The default is `DisablePersistentDatadir=false` and
`RendezvousMethod=domain_fronting`.)
With this implementation, we can start measuring whether snowflake
and tor together can boostrap, which seems the most important thing
to focus on at the beginning. Understanding why the bootstrap most
often does not converge with a temporary datadir on Android devices
remains instead an open problem for now. (I'll also update the
relevant issues or create new issues after commit this.)
We also address some methodology improvements that were proposed
in https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1686. Namely:
1. we record the tor version;
2. we include the bootstrap percentage by reading the logs;
3. we set the anomaly key correctly;
4. we measure the bytes send and received (by `tor` not by `snowflake`, since
doing it for snowflake seems more complex at this stage).
What remains to be done is the possibility of including Snowflake
events into the measurement, which is not possible until the new
improvements at common/event in snowflake.git are included into a
tagged version of snowflake itself. (I'll make sure to mention
this aspect to @cohosh in https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2004.)
This diff addresses another point of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1956:
> - [ ] observe that we're still using a bunch of private interfaces for common interfaces such as the `Dialer`, so we can get rid of these private interfaces and always use the ones in `model`, which allows us to remove a bunch of legacy wrappers
Additional cleanups may still be possible. The more I cleanup, the more I see
there's extra legacy code we can dispose of (which seems good?).

## Description
This PR contains a set of changes to move important interfaces and data types into the `./internal/model` package.
The criteria for including an interface or data type in here is roughly that the type should be important and used by several packages. We are especially interested to move more interfaces here to increase modularity.
An additional side effect is that, by reading this package, one should be able to understand more quickly how different parts of the codebase interact with each other.
This is what I want to move in `internal/model`:
- [x] most important interfaces from `internal/netxlite`
- [x] everything that was previously part of `internal/engine/model`
- [x] mocks from `internal/netxlite/mocks` should also be moved in here as a subpackage
This is required to implement websteps, which is currently tracked
by https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1733.
We introduce the concept of async runner. An async runner will
post measurements on a channel until it is done. When it is done,
it will close the channel to notify the reader about that.
This change causes sync experiments now to strictly return either
a non-nil measurement or a non-nil error.
While this is a pretty much obvious situation in golang, we had
some parts of the codebase that were not robust to this assumption
and attempted to submit a measurement after the measure call
returned an error.
Luckily, we had enough tests to catch this change in our assumption
and this is why there are extra docs and tests changes.
* refactor(atomicx): move outside the engine package
After merging probe-engine into probe-cli, my impression is that we have
too much unnecessary nesting of packages in this repository.
The idea of this commit and of a bunch of following commits will instead
be to reduce the nesting and simplify the structure.
While there, improve the documentation.
* fix: always use the atomicx package
For consistency, never use sync/atomic and always use ./internal/atomicx
so we can just grep and make sure we're not risking to crash if we make
a subtle mistake on a 32 bit platform.
While there, mention in the contributing guidelines that we want to
always prefer the ./internal/atomicx package over sync/atomic.
* fix(atomicx): remove unnecessary constructor
We don't need a constructor here. The default constructed `&Int64{}`
instance is already usable and the constructor does not add anything to
what we are doing, rather it just creates extra confusion.
* cleanup(atomicx): we are not using Float64
Because atomicx.Float64 is unused, we can safely zap it.
* cleanup(atomicx): simplify impl and improve tests
We can simplify the implementation by using defer and by letting
the Load() method call Add(0).
We can improve tests by making many goroutines updated the
atomic int64 value concurrently.
* refactor(fsx): can live in the ./internal pkg
Let us reduce the amount of nesting. While there, ensure that the
package only exports the bare minimum, and improve the documentation
of the tests, to ease reading the code.
* refactor: move runtimex to ./internal
* refactor: move shellx into the ./internal package
While there, remove unnecessary dependency between packages.
While there, specify in the contributing guidelines that
one should use x/sys/execabs instead of os/exec.
* refactor: move ooapi into the ./internal pkg
* refactor(humanize): move to ./internal and better docs
* refactor: move platform to ./internal
* refactor(randx): move to ./internal
* refactor(multierror): move into the ./internal pkg
* refactor(kvstore): all kvstores in ./internal
Rather than having part of the kvstore inside ./internal/engine/kvstore
and part in ./internal/engine/kvstore.go, let us put every piece of code
that is kvstore related into the ./internal/kvstore package.
* fix(kvstore): always return ErrNoSuchKey on Get() error
It should help to use the kvstore everywhere removing all the
copies that are lingering around the tree.
* sessionresolver: make KVStore mandatory
Simplifies implementation. While there, use the ./internal/kvstore
package rather than having our private implementation.
* fix(ooapi): use the ./internal/kvstore package
* fix(platform): better documentation
* fix(pkg.go.dev): import a subpackage containing the assets
We're trying to fix this issue that pkg.go.dev does not build.
Thanks to @hellais for this very neat idea! Let's keep our
fingers crossed and see whether it fixes!
* feat: use embedded geoip databases
Closes https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1372.
Work done as part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1369.
* fix(assetsx): add tests
* feat: simplify and just vendor uncompressed DBs
* remove tests that seems not necessary anymore
* fix: run go mod tidy
* Address https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/260/files#r605181364
* rewrite a test in a better way
* fix: gently cleanup the legacy assetsdir
Do not remove the whole directory with brute force. Just zap the
files whose name we know. Then attempt to delete the legacy directory
as well. If not empty, just fail. This is fine because it means the
user has stored other files inside the directory.
* fix: create .miniooni if missing
* feat(session): expose CheckIn method
It seems to me the right thing to do is to query the CheckIn API
from the Session rather than querying it from InputLoader.
Then, InputLoader could just take a reference to a Session-like
interface that allows this functionality.
So, this diff exposes the Session.CheckIn method.
Doing that, in turn, required some refactoring to allow for
more and better unit tests.
While doing that, I also noticed that Session required a mutex
to be a well-behaving type, so I did that.
While doing that, I also tried to cover all the lines in session.go
and, as part of that, I have removed unused code.
Reference issue: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1299.
* fix: reinstate comment I shan't have removed
* fix: repair broken test
* fix: a bit more coverage, annotations, etc.
* Update internal/engine/session.go
* Update internal/engine/session_integration_test.go
* Update internal/engine/session_internal_test.go
This is how I did it:
1. `git clone https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine internal/engine`
2. ```
(cd internal/engine && git describe --tags)
v0.23.0
```
3. `nvim go.mod` (merging `go.mod` with `internal/engine/go.mod`
4. `rm -rf internal/.git internal/engine/go.{mod,sum}`
5. `git add internal/engine`
6. `find . -type f -name \*.go -exec sed -i 's@/ooni/probe-engine@/ooni/probe-cli/v3/internal/engine@g' {} \;`
7. `go build ./...` (passes)
8. `go test -race ./...` (temporary failure on RiseupVPN)
9. `go mod tidy`
10. this commit message
Once this piece of work is done, we can build a new version of `ooniprobe` that
is using `internal/engine` directly. We need to do more work to ensure all the
other functionality in `probe-engine` (e.g. making mobile packages) are still WAI.
