This basically adapts already existing code inside websteps to
instead be into the netxlite package, where it belongs.
In the process, abstract the TLSDialer but keep a reference to the
previous name to avoid refactoring existing code (just for now).
While there, notice that the right name is CloseIdleConnections (i.e.,
plural not singular) and change the name.
While there, since we abstracted TLSDialer to be an interface, create
suitable factories for making a TLSDialer type from a Dialer and a
TLSHandshaker.
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591
Like we did before for the resolver, a dialer should propagate the
request to close idle connections to underlying types.
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591
We would like to refactor the code so that a DoH resolver owns the
connections of its underlying HTTP client.
To do that, we need first to incorporate CloseIdleConnections
into the Resolver model. Then, we need to add the same function
to all netxlite types that wrap a Resolver type.
At the same time, we want the rest of the code for now to continue
with the simpler definition of a Resolver, now called ResolverLegacy.
We will eventually propagate this change to the rest of the tree
and simplify the way in which we manage Resolvers.
To make this possible, we introduce a new factory function that
adapts a ResolverLegacy to become a Resolver.

This diff enables `websteps` to use uTLS for TLS parroting. It integrates the `oohttp.StdlibTransport` wrapper which uses the `ooni/oohttp` fork. `oohttp` supports TLS-like connections like `utls.Conn`.
As a prototype, the testhelper and `websteps` code now uses the `utls.HelloChrome_Auto` fingerprint, i.e. the simulated TLS fingerprint of the Google Chrome browser.
It is a further contribution for my GSoC project.
Reference issue: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1733
This is the extension of https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/431, and my final deliverable for GSoC 2021.
The diff introduces:
1) The new `testhelper` which supports testing multiple IP endpoints per domain and introduces HTTP/3 control measurements. The specification of the `testhelper` can be found at https://github.com/ooni/spec/pull/219. The `testhelper` algorithm consists of three main steps:
* `InitialChecks` verifies that the input URL can be parsed, has an expected scheme, and contains a valid domain name.
* `Explore` enumerates all the URLs that it discovers by redirection from the original URL, or by detecting h3 support at the target host.
* `Generate` performs a step-by-step measurement of each discovered URL.
2) A prototype of the corresponding new experiment `websteps` which uses the control measurement of the `testhelper` to know which URLs to measure, and what to expect. The prototype does not yet have:
* unit and integration tests,
* an analysis tool to compare the control and the probe measurement.
This PR is my final deliverable as it is the outcome of the trials, considerations and efforts of my GSoC weeks at OONI.
It fully integrates HTTP/3 (QUIC) support which has been only used in the `urlgetter` experiment until now.
