circuits by using hashtables instead of linear searches over all

7% of CPU usage on some busy relays.
+ - Avoid wasting cycles looking for usable circuit IDs. Previously,
+ when allocating a new circuit ID, we would in the worst case do a
+ linear scan over the entire possible range of circuit IDs before
+ deciding that we had exhausted our possibilities. Now, we
+ try 64 circuit IDs at random before deciding that we probably
+ won't succeed. Fix for a possible root cause of ticket
+ #11553.

- New --enable-expensive-hardening option to turn on security hardening
options that consume nontrivial amounts of CPU and memory. Right now,
this includes AddressSanitizer and UbSan. Closes ticket 11477.
+ - If you don't specify MaxMemInQueues yourself, Tor now tries to
+ pick a good value based on your total system memory. Previously,
+ the default was always 8 GB. You can still override the default by
+ setting MaxMemInQueues yourself. Resolves ticket 11396.

- Warn less verbosely when receiving a misformed ESTABLISH_RENDEZVOUS
cell. Fixes ticket 11279.
+ - When we run out of usable circuit IDs on a channel, log only one
+ warning for the whole channel, and include a description of

o Minor features (controller):
- Make the entire exit policy available from the control port via
GETINFO exit-policy/*. Implements enhancement #7952. Patch from
"rl1987".
+ - Because of the fix for ticket 11396, the real limit for memory
+ usage may no longer match the configured MaxMemInQueues value.
+ The real limit is now exposed via GETINFO limits/max-mem-in-queues.
o Minor features (misc):
- Always check return values for unlink, munmap, UnmapViewOfFile;
