[tor-commits] [tor/master] Add a rate-limit to our warning about the disabled .exit notation



commit f0e4120996d3a96252200ea5302dcde3af6e0bc0
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    Add a rate-limit to our warning about the disabled .exit notation
    
    This warning would previously be given every time we tried to open a
    connection to a foo.exit address, which could potentially be used to
    flood the logs.  Now, we don't allow this warning to appear more
    than once every 15 minutes.
    
    Fixes bug 31466; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha, when .exit was first
    deprecated.
