There's a bug in openssl 1.0.1 where TLS1.1 and TLS1.2 can't
renegotiate with themselves. When testing renegotiation with OpenSSL
>=1.0.1 and <1.0.1d, disable those protocols.
Fixes an issue reported on libevent-users in the thread "a dead
looping bug when changing system time backward". Previously, if time
jumped forward 1 hour[*] and we had a one-second periodic timer event,
that event would get invoked 3600 times. That's almost certainly not
what anybody wants.
In a future version of Libevent, we should expose the amount of time
that the callbac kwould have been invoked somehow.
[*] Forward time jumps can happen with nonmonotonic clocks, or with
clocks that jump on suspend/resume. It can also happen from
Libevent's point of view if the user exits from event_base_loop() and
doesn't call it again for a while.
As originally written, the test would only pass if the accept()
callbacks for the evconnlistener were all invoked before the last of
the CONNECTED/ERROR callbacks for the connecting/resolving bufferevent
had its call to event_base_loopexit() complete. But this was only
accidentally true in 2.0, and might not be true at all in 2.1 where
we schedule event_base_once() callbacks more aggressively.

Sometimes DNS reply has nothing but query section. It does not look like
error, so it should be treated as NODATA with TTL=0 as soon as there is
no SOA record to deduce negative TTL from.
The sendfile() implementation for evbuffer_add_file is potentially more
efficient, but it has a problem: you can only use it to send bytes over
a socket using sendfile(). If you are writing bytes via SSL_send() or
via a filter, or if you need to be able to inspect your buffer, it
doesn't work.
As an easy fix, this patch disables the sendfile-based implementation of
evbuffer_add_file on an evbuffer unless the user sets a new
EVBUFFER_FLAG_DRAINS_TO_FD flag on that evbuffer, indicating that the
evbuffer will not be inspected, but only written out via
evbuffer_write(), evbuffer_write_atmost(), or drained with stuff like
evbuffer_drain() or evbuffer_add_buffer(). This flag is off by
default, except for evbuffers used for output on bufferevent_socket.
In the future, it could be interesting to make a best-effort file
segment implementation that tries to send via sendfile, but mmaps on
demand. That's too much complexity for a stable release series, though.
