[tor-commits] [tor/master] Refactor to remove n_libevent_errors



commit b0e5757710c476a1a79dfc8a706f566ce515c495

    Refactor to remove n_libevent_errors
    
    We cleared this value in second_elapsed_callback.  But what were we
    using it for?  For detecting if Libevent returned EINVAL too often!
    We already have a way to detect too-frequent events, and that's with
    a ratelim_t.  Refactor the code to use that instead.  Closes ticket
    26016.
