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.
* Moved PAIR to toxav, where it's used (but really this should die).
* Replace most MIN calls with typed `min_*` calls. Didn't replace the
ones where the desired semantics are unclear. Moved the MIN macro to
the one place where it's still used.
* Avoid assignments in `while` loops. Instead, factored out the loop body
into a separate `bool`-returning function.
* Use named types for callbacks (`_cb` types).
* Avoid assignments in `if` conditions.
* Removed `MAKE_REALLOC` and expanded its two calls. We can't have
templates in C, and this fake templating is ugly and hard to analyse
and debug (it expands on a single line).
* Moved epoll system include to the .c file, out of the .h file.
* Avoid assignments in expressions (`a = b = c;`).
* Avoid multiple declarators per struct member declaration.
* Fix naming inconsistencies.
* Replace `net_to_host` macro with function.
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
```
This requires that every symbol, even if static (file-scope), is unique.
The idea is that we can easily run "whole" program static analysis on
programs that include monolith.h ("whole" is in quotes, as we don't
include dependencies like libsodium in this static analysis).
"All rights reserved" was incorrect. The project was licensed under GPL3,
which means a lot of rights are licensed to everybody in the world, i.e.
not reserved to the "Tox Project".
`new_nonce` has been an alias for `random_nonce` for a while now. Having
two names for the same operation is confusing. `random_nonce` better
expresses the intent. The documentation for `new_nonce` talks about
guaranteeing that the nonce is different from previous ones, which is
incorrect, it's just quite likely to be different.
Compiling as C++ changes nothing semantically, but ensures that we don't
break C++ compatibility while also retaining C compatibility.
C++ compatibility is useful for tooling and additional diagnostics and
analyses.
It is still C code, so still compatible with C compilers as well. This
change lets us see more clearly where implicit conversions occur by
making them explicit.
In the future, all TODOs added either need a bug number (TODO(#NN)) or a
person's github user name. By default, I made irungentoo the owner of
all toxcore TODOs, mannol the owner of toxav TODOs, and myself the owner
of API TODOs.
This header is a requirement for the public API, therefore is assumed to
exist. It is a C99 standard library header, and _Bool is not intended to
be used directly, except in legacy code that defines bool (and
true/false) itself. We don't use or depend on such code. None of our
client code uses or depends on such code. There is no reason to not use
bool.
