cli: new testhelper and the websteps experiment prototype (#432)
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.

OONI Probe Client Library and CLI

GoDoc Short Tests Status All Tests Status Coverage Status Go Report Card linux-debian-packages GitHub issues by-label

The next generation OONI Probe: client library and Command Line Interface.

User setup

Please, follow the instructions at ooni.org/install/cli to install ooniprobe. If we do not support your use case, please let us know.

Once ooniprobe is installed, try ooniprobe help to get interactive help.

Reporting issues

Please, report issues with this codebase at github.com/ooni/probe. Please, make sure you tag such issues using the ooni/probe-cli label.

Repository organization

Every top-level directory contains an explanatory README file.

OONIProbe

Be sure you have golang >= 1.16 and a C compiler (when developing for Windows, you need Mingw-w64 installed). You can build using:

go build -v ./cmd/ooniprobe

This will generate a binary called ooniprobe in the current directory.

Android bindings

Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:

./mk android

Builds bindings for Android. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)

The generated bindings are (manually) pushed to the Maven Central package repository. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.

iOS bindings

Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:

./mk ios

Builds bindings for iOS. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)

The generated bindings are (manually) added to GitHub releases. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.

miniooni

Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:

go build -v ./internal/cmd/miniooni

This will generate a binary called miniooni in the current directory.

Updating dependencies

go get -u -v ./... && go mod tidy

Releasing

Create an issue according to the routine release template and perform any item inside the check-list.

We build releases using ./mk, which requires GNU make. Try the ./mk help|less command for detailed usage.
