The different bufferevent implementations had different behavior for
their timeouts. Some of them kept re-triggering the timeouts
indefinitely; some disabled the event immediately the first time a
timeout triggered. Some of them made the timeouts only count when
the bufferevent was actively trying to read or write; some did not.
The new behavior is modeled after old socket bufferevents, since
they were here first and their behavior is relatively sane.
Basically, each timeout disables the bufferevent's corresponding
read or write operation when it fires. Timeouts are stopped
whenever we suspend writing or reading, and reset whenever we
unsuspend writing or reading. Calling bufferevent_enable resets a
timeout, as does changing the timeout value.
Most of these should be unable to fail, since adding a timeout
generally always works. Still, it's better not to try to be "too
smart for our own good here."
There are some remaining event_add() calls that I didn't add checks
for; I've marked those with "XXXX" comments.
In many places throughout the code, we called _bufferevent_run_eventcb
without checking whether the eventcb was actually set. This would
work fine when the bufferevent's callbacks were deferred, but
otherwise the code would segfault. Strangely, we always remembered to
check before calling the _bufferevent_run_{read,write}cb functions.
To prevent similar errors in the future, all of
_buferevent_run_{read,write,event}cb now check to make sure the
callback is actually set before invoking or deferring the callback.
This patch also removes the now-redundant checks for {read,write}cb.
The fairness algorithms are not the best, not every bufferevent type
is supported, and some of the locking tricks here are simply absurd.
Still, this code should be a good first step.
OpenSSL has a per-thread error stack, and really doesn't like you
leaving errors on the stack. Rather than discard the errors or force
the user to handle them, this patch pulls them off the openssl stack
and puts them on a stack associated with the bufferevent_openssl. If
the user leaves them on the stack then, it won't affect any other
connections.

This makes our interfaces usable from C++, which doesn't believe
you can say "bufferevent_socket_nase(base, -1,
BEV_OPT_CLOSE_ON_FREE|BEV_OPT_DEFER_CALLBACKS)" but which instead
would demand "static_cast<bufferevent_options>(BEV_OPT_CLOSE_ON_FREE|
BEV_OPT_DEFER_CALLBACKS))" for the last argument.
Diagnosis and patch from Chris Davis.

This code adds a new Bufferevent type that is only compiled when the
openssl library is present. It supports using an SSL object and an
event alert mechanism, which can either be an fd or an underlying
bufferevent.
There is still more work to do: the unit tests are incomplete, and we
need to support flush and shutdown much better. Sometimes events are
generated needlessly: this will hose performance.
There's a new encrypting proxy in sample/le-proxy.c.
This code has only been tested on OSX, and nowhere else.
