Linux-specific signal handling backend based on signalfd(2)
system call, and public function event_base_get_signal_method()
to obtain an underlying kernel signal handling mechanism.

This adds few functions to use evhttp-based webserver to handle incoming
WebSockets connections. We've tried to use both libevent and libwebsockets in
our application, but found that we need to have different ports at the same
time to handle standard HTTP and WebSockets traffic. This change can help to
stick only with libevent library.
Implementation was inspired by modified Libevent source code in ipush project
[1].

Also, WebSocket-based chat server was added as a sample.
There are no standard for encoding a unix socket in an url. nginx uses:
http://unix:/path/to/unix/socket:/httppath
The second colon is needed to delimit where the unix path ends and where
the rest of the url continues.

Add new flag (DNS_CNAME_CALLBACK) for
evdns_base_resolve_ipv4()/evdns_base_resolve_ipv6().
If set, you will get one more callback with type == DNS_CNAME and CNAME
in addrs argument.
Looks like a `splice` implementation was planned, but has clearly never
eventuated (the TODO comment is from ~12 years ago, in
8b5bd77415fb6634fadf08357676926fecf5f032). For now, it's probably better
to remove the unused code/correct the docs.
The conflict cast convertion between the return value of
bufferevent_read() and evbuffer_remove(), int(-1)->size_t(An undefined
maximum)
Add test case of bufferevent_read() should return 0 in case of
evbuffer_remove() returns -1
Fixes: #1132
I recently found that when the network status changed when calling
bufferevent_socket_connect_hostname (e.g. switching between several
WIFIs), all DNS servers would fail, and the timeout of probe would be
very long if there were many DNS requests. I want libevent to support
manual setting of MAX_PROBE_TIMEOUT and TIMEOUT_BACKOFF_FACTOR
So move hardcoded MAX_PROBE_TIMEOUT and TIMEOUT_BACKOFF_FACTOR into
struct, and allow changing them.
At the very beginning we reset the bufferevent fd (if bev has it), which
is not a good idea, since if user passes bufferevent with existing fd he
has some intention.
So we need to:
- use BEV_OPT_CLOSE_ON_FREE for default bufferevent_socket_new() (to
avoid manual shutdown/closee)
- drop getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR), since bufferevent already has
evutil_socket_finished_connecting_()
- drop supperior bufferevent_setfd(bev, -1) in
evhttp_connection_connect_()

Added new option `edns-udp-size` for evdns_base which allows
to control maximum allowed size of UDP DNS messages. This
maximum size is passed to the DNS server via edns mechanism.
@jcoffland:
"When the max connection limit is enabled and the limit is reached, the
server will respond immediately with 503 Service Unavailable. This can
be used to prevent servers from running out of file descriptors. This is
better than request limiting because clients may make more than one
request over a single connection. Blocking a request does not
necessarily close the connection and free up a socket."
* http-max_connections-pr-592:
test: cover evhttp max connections
Added evhttp max simultaneous connection limiting
By default we are using CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, but if
EVENT_BASE_FLAG_PRECISE_TIMER isset, then CLOCK_MONOTONIC will be used,
however this will also enable timerfd, while this is not always what
someone wants, hence add a flag to control this (by default the old
behavior is preserved, set new flag to change it).
The existing error pages are very basic and don't allow for
multi-lingual support or for conformity with other pages in a web site.
The aim of the callback functionality is to allow custom error pages to
be supported for calls to evhttp_send_error() by both calling
applications and Libevent itself.
A backward-incompatible change has been made to the title of error pages
sent by evhttp_send_error(). The original version of the function used
the reason argument as part of the title. That might have unforeseen
side-effects if it contains HTML tags. Therefore the title has been
changed to always use the standard status text.
An example of the error callback can be found in this
[version](https://github.com/libevent/libevent/files/123607/http-server.zip)
of the 'http-server' sample. It will output error pages with very bright
backgrounds, the error code using a very large font size and the reason.

Add support for posix mutex priority inheritance. This is important to
avoid priority inversion in systems running with threads with different
priorities.

- Documentation for `bufferevent_compat.h` and `rpc.h` is not generated
since the `@file` command is missing. It can be fixed by adding
`@file` in file comment block.
- The briefs of buffer.h,bufferevent.h and some other files are missing.
Adding `@brief` command can fix it.
- The parameters in the function declaration are different from the
parameters following the `@param` command.We should change them to the
same.
- Documentation of `watch.h` is not generated since `watch.h` has not
been added to the Doxyfile `INPUT` tag.
- Add link to the watch.h in event.h
[ @azat:
- add return heredoc for evbuffer_setcb()
- add unit test with event_set_mem_functions()
- look through the report from abi-compliance-checker/abi-dumper
]
Closes: #855
