* fix(tunnel): pass /absolute/path/to/tor to cretz/bine
It seems cretz/bine is not aware of https://blog.golang.org/path-security
for now. I am planning to send over a diff for that later today.
In the meanwhile, do the right thing here, and make sure that we obtain
the absolute path to the tor binary before we continue.
This work is part of https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine/issues/283.
* fix tests when tor is not installed
* fix(tunnel/tor): keep tunneldir clean
This diff ensures that we don't keep the log file growing and
we also remove the temporary files created by the library we
are currently using for running tor from golang.

* fix(session.go): tell use we're using a tunnel
* urlgetter: fix tunnel test
This diff fixes the urlgetter test suite to make sure we
are correctly testing for tunnel creation.
While there, improve the way in which we create a testing
directory and add a test for that.

* fix comment
* fix comment
This functionality should be helpful to test that the general
interface of the tunnel package is okay from the engine package.

* refactor(tunnel): remove nil tunnels hack
This code was originally introduced because a tunnel could be
nil in session.go. I have verified that every invocation of
tunnel.Start is careful to ensure that we have a tunnel name
and that we don't manipulate a nil tunnel.
For this reason, I'd rather remove this tricky bit of code and
further simplify the tunnel code.

* even better docs
* feat: create tunnel inside NewSession
We want to create the tunnel when we create the session. This change
allows us to nicely ignore the problem of creating a tunnel when we
already have a proxy, as well as the problem of locking. Everything is
happening, in fact, inside of the NewSession factory.
Modify miniooni such that --tunnel is just syntactic sugar for
--proxy, at least for now. We want, in the future, to teach the
tunnel to possibly use a socks5 proxy.
Because starting a tunnel is a slow operation, we need a context in
NewSession. This causes a bunch of places to change. Not really a big
deal except we need to propagate the changes.
Make sure that the mobile code can create a new session using a
proxy for all the APIs we support.
Make sure all tests are still green and we don't loose coverage of
the various ways in which this code could be used.
This change is part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/985.
* changes after merge
* fix: only keep tests that can hopefully work
While there, identify other places where we should add more
tests or fix integration tests.

This diff breaks the circular dependency between session and
tunnel, by introducing the concept of early session.
An early session is a session that is able to fetch the psiphon
configuration file _only_ if it's embedded in the binary.
This breaks `miniooni --tunnel=psiphon` for users who have
access to the OONI backend. They are not the users we are
writing this feature for, though, so I think this is reasonable.
At the same time, this opens up the possibility of creating
a psiphon tunnel when constructing a session, which is the
approach I was following in https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/286.
This work is part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/985.
Once this diff is in, I can land https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/286.
* feat(tunnel): introduce persistent tunnel state dir
This diff introduces a persistent state directory for tunnels, so that
we can bootstrap them more quickly after the first time.
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/985
* fix: make tunnel dir optional
We have many tests where it does not make sense to explicitly
provide a tunnel dir because we're not using tunnels.
This should simplify setting up a session.
* fix(tunnel): repair tests
* final changes
* more cleanups
We're trying to remove a circular dependency between the measurement
Session and the tunnel package. To this end, continue to reduce the
dependency scope by providing TorArgs and TorBinary directly.
