using strstr() is a very error-prone way for config parsing.
for example if "proxy_dns" is being tested for the line "proxy_dns_old",
it would return true.
we fix this by removing leading and trailing whitespace from the line
to parse and use strcmp/strncmp() instead.
the if(1) has been inserted so we can keep the same indentation level
and not spam the commit with whitespace changes.
some lamer on IRC by the name of annoner/R3M0RS3/penis was complaining
that 3.1 is a lot better than proxychains-ng, because it happens to
work with the browser he's interested in.
since this wasn't the first time this is requested, let's give this
those lamers what they want: lame code!
since we caved in to demands that it should be possible to allow
hostnames in the proxy list section, we now got to deal with the
fallout. the code was calling at_get... assuming that the allocator
thread is always used.
simplify code by adding a new at_msg struct that contains both
the message header and the message body.
this allow e.g. atomic writes of the whole message instead of doing
it in 2 steps. unfortunately reads still have to be done in at least
2 steps, since there are no atomicity guarantees[0].
additionally the message header shrunk from 8 to 4 bytes.

In proxychains, we create pipes and use them internally.
If exec() is called by the program we run, the pipes opened
previously are never closed, causing a file descriptor leak
may eventually crash the program.
This commit calls fcntl() to set FD_CLOEXEC flags on pipes.
AFAIK there's no race condition on pipe creation, but we still
prefer to call the newer pipe2() with O_CLOEXEC if it's supported
by the system, due to its advantage of atomic operation, which
prevents potential race conditions in the future.

this should make it work automatically on any new platform without
having to add yet another ifdef hack.
should fix issues with android (#265).
additionally the code for the systems lacking GNU-compatible getservbyname_r()
is now guarded with a mutex, which prevents possible races, therefore
resolving the ancient "TODO" item.
Fix issue #147.
If all proxies are in DOWN_STATE or BUSY_STATE state, select_proxy will run
forever in an infinite loop. When all proxies are not available, we wait some
intervals and retry. The wait time starts with 10 milliseconds and is
increased by 10 milliiseconds in each loop. 14 loops sums up with 1.05 second.
this was wrongly fixed in 06c20ed394
instead of reverting we now accept the correct version
(version field containing 1) plus the incorrect version (5) given by some
proxyservers in the wild. curl accepts both forms too.
closing #224
addressing #221
calling uname in a configure script is entirely bogus, as it will return
wrong results in crosscompilation scenarios. the only sensible way to
detect the target platform's peculiarities is to test the preprocessor
for macros defining the target.
it turns out that those macros are not portable at all. rather than
adding workarounds to make it work for every single platform, just
use plain s6_addr instead.
in order to prevent future bugs like the one fixed in cc7bc891ff
we need to assure that the response is of the same type as the request -
if not, some unexpected race condition happened.
