This change ensures that, in turn, we're able to "remote" all the traffic generated by the `geolocate` package, rather than missing some bits of it that were still using the standard library and caused _some_ geolocations to geolocate as the local host rather than as the remote host.
Extracted from https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/969, where we tested this functionality.
Closes https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1383 (which was long overdue).
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2340, because it allows us to make progress with that.
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 refactors netx and netxlite to ensure we're not using
netxlite legacy names inside of netx.
To this end, we're cheating a bit. We're exposing a new factory to
get an unwrapped stdlib resolver rather than defining a legacy name
to export the private name of the same factory.
This is actually a fine place to stop, for now, the next and
netxlite refactoring at https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2121.
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
* 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
The use cases for using a proxy become more clear over time. When I
originally wrote the proxy code the idea was to use the proxy to proxy
both the communication with the backend and measurements.
It become increasingly clear that we _only_ want to proxy the
communication with the backends. Therefore, there's no point in
skipping the resolver lookup step when we use a proxy.

* 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
* fix(geolocate): no proxy when discovering our IP address
The use case of --proxy is that you cannot contact the OONI
backend otherwise. It is wrong, though, using the proxy when
discovering our IP address. The measurement won't use the
proxy anyway. Therefore, we need to use the IP address that
is performing the measurement. Not the one of the proxy.
What's more, stun is not using a proxy. Therefore, it does
not make much sense that http IP resolvers use a proxy. This
leads to inconsistencies. So, here's anothe reason why this
patch is a good thing (TM).
Finally, because knowing the IP address enables us to sanitize
the data, it's important we discover the correct IP.
Now, up until this point, the `--proxy` option has mostly
been a developers toy. But, users have asked us to have the
possibility of configuring a proxy.
This explains why I have been looking into making `--proxy`
right for a couple of hours now.
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1382
* fix(session): properly configure the IP lookupper
* refactor: start building an Android package
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1335.
This seems also a good moment to move some packages out of the
engine, e.g., oonimkall. This package, for example, is a consumer
of the engine, so it makes sense it's not _inside_ it.
* fix: committed some stuff I didn't need to commit
* fix: oonimkall needs to be public to build
The side effect is that we will probably need to bump the major
version number every time we change one of these APIs.
(We can also of course choose to violate the basic guidelines of Go
software, but I believe this is bad form.)
I have no problem in bumping the major quite frequently and in
any case this monorepo solution is convinving me more than continuing
to keep a split between engine and cli. The need to embed assets to
make the probe more reliable trumps the negative effects of having to
~frequently bump major because we expose a public API.
* fix: let's not forget about libooniffi
Honestly, I don't know what to do with this library. I added it
to provide a drop in replacement for MK but I have no idea whether
it's used and useful. I would not feel comfortable exposing it,
unlike oonimkall, since we're not using it.
It may be that the right thing to do here is just to delete the
package and reduce the amount of code we're maintaining?
* woops, we're still missing the publish android script
* fix(publish-android.bash): add proper API key
* ouch fix another place where the name changed
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.
