This one is unfortunately a little more complicated to use. I may add a
simpler API later, but for now, it's JSON-based (because I couldn't get
binary data to work without it getting mangled somewhere along the way -
JSON is at least text-transport-safe).
tox-bootstrapd can use around 600 TCP sockets during TCP server's normal
functioning. Many systems default to having a soft limit of 1024 open file
descriptors, which we are close to reaching, so it was suggested we bump that
limit to a higher number. iphy suggested increasing it to 32768.
We should avoid recursion, as it makes reasoning about stack growth
harder. This tool shows (currently) 4 (non-tail) recursive functions, at
least 2 of which are easy to fix.
Don't know why codes with macro dosen't work.
As it's only a few expensive, just code it without macro for now.
\#if (MIN_LOGGER_LEVEL == LOG_TRACE) || (MIN_LOGGER_LEVEL == LOG_DEBUG)
fprintf(stderr, "[%s] %s:%d(%s) %s\n", strlevel, file, line, func, message);
\#endif
Reduced by, e.g.:
* `file_transfer_test`: 33% of the `clock_gettime` calls.
* `tox_many_test`: 53% of the `clock_gettime` calls.
Other tests will see similar improvements. Real world applications will
be closer to 40-50% improvement, since tox_many_test has 100 nodes, while
file_transfer_test has 2 nodes.
This allows Tox to contain additional data on top of Messenger, making
Messenger not necessarily the most top-level object. E.g. groups are
built on Messenger and currently awkwardly void-pointered into it to
pretend there is no cyclic dependency.
It turns out, `unix_time` is also monotonic, and is used as such, so I've
renamed the new functions to `mono_time_*`.

```
00:01 <@irungentoo> the idea used to be that the unix_time() function
could go backward in time but I think I might have started using it like
if it could not after I changed it so that it would never go back in time
```
Rules:
1. Constants are uppercase names: THE_CONSTANT.
2. SUE[1] types start with an uppercase letter and have at least one
lowercase letter in it: The_Type, THE_Type.
3. Function types end in "_cb": tox_friend_connection_cb.
4. Variable and function names are all lowercase: the_function.
This makes it easier for humans reading the code to determine what an
identifier means. I'm not convinced by the enum type name change, but I
don't know a better rule. Currently, a lot of enum types are spelled like
constants, which is confusing.
