Implement stream isolation
This is the meat of proposal 171: we change circuit_is_acceptable() to require that the connection is compatible with every connection that has been linked to the circuit; we update circuit_is_better to prefer attaching streams to circuits in the way that decreases the circuits' usefulness the least; and we update link_apconn_to_circ() to do the appropriate bookkeeping.

+ o Major features:
+ - You can now configure Tor so that streams from different
+ applications are isolated on different circuits, to prevent an
+ attacker who sees your streams leaving an exit node from linking
+ your sessions to one another. To do this, choose some way to
+ distinguish the applications -- have them connect to different
+ SocksPorts, or have one of them use SOCKS4 while the other uses
+ SOCKS5, or have them pass different authentication strings to
+ the SOCKS proxy. Then use the new SocksPort syntax to configure
+ the degree of isolation you need. This implements Proposal 171.
+
o Minor features:
- There's a new syntax for specifying multiple client ports (such as
SOCKSPort, TransPort, DNSPort, NATDPort): you can now just declare
