* refactor: cleaner way of passing a UDPConn around
Also part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1505
* Update internal/engine/netx/quicdialer/connectionstate.go
I needed to add some tests as integration tests due to circular
imports, but this is ~fine because we quite likely want many
integration tests in the errorsx package anyway.

With this factory, we want to construct ourselves the TLS dialer
so that we can use a dialer wrapper that always sets timeouts when
reading, addressing https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1609.
As a result, we cannot immediately replace the i/e/netx factory
for creating a new HTTP transport, since the functions signatures
are not directly compatible.
Refactoring is part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1505.

You will notice that I have not adapted all the (great) tests we had
previously. They should live at another layer, and namely the one that
deals with performing measurements.
When I'm refactoring such a layer I'll ensure those tests that I have
not adapted here are reintroduced into the tree.
Auto-configure every relevant TLS field as close as possible to
where it's actually used.
As a side effect, add support for mocking the creation of a TLS
connection, which should possibly be useful for uTLS?
Work that is part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1505
The BogonResolver relied on its wrapper resolver to pass along the
list of addresses _and_ the error. But the idiomatic thing to do is
often to return `nil` when there is an error.
I broke this very fragile assumption in https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/399.
I could of course fix it, but this assumption is clearly wrong
and we should not allow such fragile code in the tree.
We are not using BogonIsError much in the tree. The only place in
which we're using it for measuring seems to be dnscheck.
It may be that this surprising behavior was what caused the issue at
https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1510 in the first place.
Regardless, let's remove fragile code and adjust the test that was
failing. Also that test is quick so it can run in `-short` mode.
Spotted while working on https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1505.
What do I mean by pivoting? Netx is currently organized by row:
```
| dialer | quicdialer | resolver | ...
saving | | | | ...
errorwrapping | | | | ...
logging | | | | ...
mocking/sys | | | | ...
```
Every row needs to implement saving, errorwrapping, logging, mocking (or
adapting to the system or to some underlying library).
This causes cross package dependencies and, in turn, complexity. For
example, we need the `trace` package for supporting saving.
And `dialer`, `quickdialer`, et al. need to depend on such a package.
The same goes for errorwrapping.
This arrangement further complicates testing. For example, I am
currently working on https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1505 and
I realize it need to repeat integration tests in multiple places.
Let's say instead we pivot the above matrix as follows:
```
| saving | errorwrapping | logging | ...
dialer | | | | ...
quicdialer | | | | ...
logging | | | | ...
mocking/sys | | | | ...
...
```
In this way, now every row contains everything related to a specific
action to perform. We can now share code without relying on extra
support packages. What's more, we can write tests and, judding from
the way in which things are made, it seems we only need integration
testing in `errorwrapping` because it's where data quality matters
whereas, in all other cases, unit testing is fine.
I am going, therefore, to proceed with these changes and "pivot"
`netx`. Hopefully, it won't be too painful.
We are not using them anymore. The only nettest still using the
legacy netx implementation is tor, for which setting these fields
is useless, because it performs each measurement into a separate
goroutine. Hence, let us start removing this part of the legacy
netx codebase, which is hampering progress in other areas.
Occurred to me while doing testing for the recent changes in
error mapping (https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1505).
* refactor: move scrubbingLogger to the scrubber pkg
We need it exported so we can use it in the new implementation.
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1687
* fix test
* refactor: move bytecounting conn in bytecounter pkg
This enables other pieces of code to request bytecounting without
depending on netx or on the perverse using-the-context-to-configure-
byte-counting mechanism.
Also occurred when working on https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1687
* fix: add missing docs
The current implementation assumes the user has already installed tor
on the current system. If tor is not present, the experiment fails.
This is meant to be the first version of this experiment.
We are going to add more functionality in subsequent revisions of
this experiment, once we've collected more feedback.

Here's the issue tracking future work: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1686
This is a very light refactoring of the mlablocatev2 package where we do
the following things:
1. use interfaces rather than depending on other pkgs where possible
2. add a missing test to the test suite
3. write more comprehensive docs (including todo-next comments)
This is a very light refactoring of the mlablocate package where we do
the following things:
1. use interfaces rather depending on other pkgs where possible
2. only keep the fields we really need in the result struct
3. write more comprehensive docs (including todo-next comments)
While there, use `neubot/dash` rather than `ndt7` for the tests.
* fix(all): introduce and use iox.CopyContext
This PR is part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1417.
In https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/379 we introduced a context
aware wrapper for io.ReadAll (formerly ioutil.ReadAll).
Here we introduce a context aware wrapper for io.Copy.
* fix(humanize): more significant digits
* fix: rename humanize files to follow the common pattern
* fix aligment
* fix test
* fix(all): introduce and use iox.ReadAllContext
This improvement over the ioutil.ReadAll utility returns early
if the context expires. This enables us to unblock stuck code in
case there's censorship confounding the TCP stack.
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1417.
Compared to the functionality postulated in the above mentioned
issue, I choose to be more generic and separate limiting the
maximum body size (not implemented here) from using the context
to return early when reading a body (or any other reader).
After implementing iox.ReadAllContext, I made sure we always
use it everywhere in the tree instead of ioutil.ReadAll.
This includes many parts of the codebase where in theory we don't
need iox.ReadAllContext. Though, changing all the places makes
checking whether we're not using ioutil.ReadAll where we should
not be using it easy: `git grep` should return no lines.
* Update internal/iox/iox_test.go
* fix(ndt7): treat context errors as non-errors
The rationale is explained by the comment documenting reduceErr.
* Update internal/engine/experiment/ndt7/download.go
* refactor(netx/dialer): hide implementation complexity
This follows the blueprint of `module.Config` and `nodule.New`
described at https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591.
* fix: ndt7 bug where we were not using the right resolver
* fix(legacy/netx): clarify irrelevant implementation change
* fix: improve comments
* fix(hhfm): do not use dialer.New b/c it breaks it
Unclear to me why this is happening. Still, improve upon the
previous situation by adding a timeout.
It does not seem a priority to look into this issue now.
The socks5 factory always returns a DialContext capable dialer. We just
need to cast to obtain such a dialer.
Also, the code will use the DialContext if passed a dialer that
implements DialContext.
Write a test that proves my point.
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591.
We already configure a timeout in the underlying dialer, hence
there's no point in keeping the TimeoutDialer around.

We're currently use jafar for QA and jafar is a better mechanism,
even though it is not portable outside of Linux.
This self censorship mechanism was less cool and added a bunch
of (also cognitive) complexity to netx.
If we ever want to go down a self censorship like road, we probably
want to do as little work as possible in the problem and as much
work as possible inside a helper like jafar.
