refactor: move i/netx/archival structs to i/model (#659)
We recently started moving core data structures inside of the
internal/model package as detailed in https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1885.

The chief reason to do that is to have a set of fundamental
shared data types to help us rationalize the codebase.

This specific diff moves internal/netx/archival's core data types
inside the internal/model package. While there, it also refactors the
existing tests to improve their quality. Additionally, we also added
an extra test to ensure `ArchivalHTTPBody` is an alias for
`ArchivalMaybeBinaryData`, which is required to ensure the
custom JSON serialization process works for it.

We're doing that because both internal/netx/archival and
internal/measurex define their own archival data structures.

We developed measurex using its own structures because it
allowed to iterate more quickly. Now that we have sketched
out measurex, the time has come to consolidate.

My overall aim is to spend a few more hours this week on
engineering measurex. This work is preliminary work before
we finish up both measurex and websteps.

We described this cleanup in https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1957.

Package github.com/ooni/probe-engine/netx

OONI extensions to the net and net/http packages. This code is used by ooni/probe-engine as a low level library to collect network, DNS, and HTTP events occurring during OONI measurements.

This library contains replacements for commonly used standard library interfaces that facilitate seamless network measurements. By using such replacements, as opposed to standard library interfaces, we can:

  • save the timing of HTTP events (e.g. received response headers)
  • save the timing and result of every Connect, Read, Write, Close operation
  • save the timing and result of the TLS handshake (including certificates)

By default, this library uses the system resolver. In addition, it is possible to configure alternative DNS transports and remote servers. We support DNS over UDP, DNS over TCP, DNS over TLS (DoT), and DNS over HTTPS (DoH). When using an alternative transport, we are also able to intercept and save DNS messages, as well as any other interaction with the remote server (e.g., the result of the TLS handshake for DoT and DoH).

This package is a fork of github.com/ooni/netx.
